ABOUT TRANSPO

With nightlife as the city’s heartbeat, Austin's unique modes of transportation are the lifeblood- funneling locals and tourists alike downtown. However, these voyages are often overlooked. Dripped in hazy neon and blurred traffic lights, TRANSPO' s mission is to reframe this perspective, centering transportation workers and showing how their endless journeys encapsulate the city’s weirdness, innovation, and charm. Taking a nonfiction spin on Dazed and Confused ’s style, TRANSPO finds the essence of Austin on the road.

This project aims to appreciate the under-appreciated. We feel the disconnect between Austin's worsening affordability and its history of booming nightlife. The folks who maintain the city's transportation infrastructure need your help- and we need support to share their stories.

Tracking individual drivers' routes, TRANSPO bridges moments in the city's history: spanning human-powered pedicabs to fully driverless rideshare vehicles. These stories will have significant themes and points of connection for locals, “transplants,” and viewers far outside Austin. This documentary is intended for anyone who has balanced innovation and personal identity.
