Deep Time
In 2009, Noah Hutton marked his directorial film debut with Crude Independence, a chronicle of the early moments of North Dakota’s prolific oil boom. Now he returns to the region with this ethereal portrait focusing on the relationship of the indigenous peoples there – and their white neighbors – to their surging fossil wealth. Deep Time puts today’s boom in the context of paleo-cycles, climate change, and the dark ecology of the future.
