Working for the Man: The Building, Burning and Disappearance of Black Rock City 2000

"In the summer of 2000, Susan Barron set off to the desert with her cameras. Before Burning Man, before the DPW crew even arrived, and when there was nothing on the playa but the winds, she began work on a documentary about the building of Black Rock City from nothing to everything and back again. No one has ever attempted this project, and to see it carried out by this subdued, thoughtful waif of a woman ("Quiet Girl Productions" is the name of her production company) is strong testament to her determination and perseverance. Susan was there from day one, weathering the harsh conditions of life in the desert, stayed all the way through cleanup, and even travelled to various public meetings to capture all that she could for her film." -Andie Grace, aka Actiongrl *** "Susan Barron's "Working for the Man" pops with the Power, Passion, and Pathos of Burning Man's DPW in a tits-out blockbuster manner reminiscent of Eisenstein's "Battleship Potemkin" with a touch of Carpenter's "Escape from New York"...two greasy, blood-caked, fishy-smelling thumbs up!" -Bob Stahl, DPW Construction Manager
