On the Bus
Director
Take six young gay guys, one bus, seven days, and ten video cameras. Add a trip to Burning Man - a festival of radical self-expression in the desert - and you get this self-aware documentary.

As addictive as your favorite reality TV show, but addressing much deeper questions, this is a trip you won't want to miss
