The intensity of the American West

French filmmaker Mathieu Le Lay grew up and lives in France. Although his native land is beautiful and diverse, it lacks what only North america can provide: wide open spaces.

The American West is where Le Lay decided to seek solitude and fulfill his love for the great outdoors. During his six-week backpacking adventure across Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Washington, he captured the beauty and uniqueness of these places in the following images and one film: American Loneliness.
