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.
