An interview with Michael, who I met for the first time and interviewed on day 2 of my motorcycle ride around the states. Michael grew up in Estacada, Oregon and eventually made his way to Portland. He talks about the patterns he saw regarding boredom and addiction in a small town, as well as his experience living in a city as politically charged as Portland.
Michael is also an ambitious and talented musician, (the music in this video was written and performed by him). Support him by following him on Instagram ( / michael_darling_music_pdx .
Filmed June 22nd, 2021 in Portland, OR.
Music by Michael Darling
