A man making a film based on his experiences living in Northern Canada in the early 1970s has found an unusual way to work on his project while travelling in the region.
Johnathan Zoesman converted a Tesla into a travelling film studio and drove the electric vehicle from his home in Petersburgh, N.Y., all the way to the Arctic Ocean in the middle of winter. He had taken photos where the story took place five decades ago and spoke to people along the journey.
“This was the late ‘60s, early ‘70s, and we were just so disappointed in the world that we lived in,” he said, pointing to the horrors of the Vietnam War as an example. They then moved to the Northwest Territories where they lived by the Liard River. In the spring, Zoesman said they were travelling on the river in a raft they had made when they found and boarded a boat.
“I could never really accept that,” he said. “It has been something that has occupied my mind much all these years.” He said he has wanted to make a film sharing his story for several years and dedicated himself to the project completely about three years ago. An article published in Northern News Services Limited detailing Zoesman’s drive has been widely shared. Zoesman said Tesla and the Yukon government’s Climate Change and Energy Solutions Centre have been championing his effort.“I can fill up my battery and go camp almost any place,” he said. “I can keep the car as warm as I want.”
