RADAR NYC 4.16.10
LaPorte, Indiana
Jason Bitner (RADAR 003 – Cassettes from my Ex) has a new film / book project called LaPorte, Indiana. Born from a chance discovery of over 18,000 studio portraits – a time capsule of personal milestones captured over the course of three decades by local photographer Frank Pease – LaPorte, Indiana is a candid look at a tight-knit American community. What started as a magazine assignment, blossomed into a documentary feature film and is now coming full circle as it’s turned into book.
