Documentary Feature
Lao People’s Democratic Republic | 94 min | 2021

MEKONG 2030 is a film anthology, comprising five stories that envision the future of the Mekong River from different cultural perspectives. Set in the year 2030, it aims to both entertain and inspire audiences to actively protect this critical life source.

In 2019, I attended the Love On Holiday Music Festival in Sturgeon Bay, WI. I was blown away by the talent that was on the stage that night. Over the next year I couldn’t get it out of my head. I wanted, nay, I needed to make a movie about this. In 2020, Pat and MelanieJane allowed me access to this absolutely wonderful event. I will be forever grateful for this experience and I hope this movie does the musicians involved justice. I hope you enjoy Love on Holiday.
