The Marfa Mavericks

The brief said golden hour.

Show Notes

The brief said golden hour. The sky said gray. The client said they trusted us. Eddie Brooks on a caliche ranch road forty minutes outside Marfa, shooting a workwear campaign with two real ranch hands and a sky that didn't show up. The job is the gap between the brief and the reality, and standing in that gap is the only place Eddie ever feels uncomplicatedly himself. Old skin, new metal. He doesn't know yet what it means. He knows it's true. By August he'll think back on this as one of the last weeks where "everything else is fine" was true. He doesn't know that yet either. Featured: Eddie Brooks, creative lead.

What is The Marfa Mavericks?

The Marfa Mavericks are six people who make outdoor-lifestyle work for a living and live in a town that does not keep secrets. Each day is a small piece of a longer week. Coffee in the dark, light coming up over the Davis Mountains, somebody at the back of the room reading three moves ahead. The city is good. Something is coming. Listen in order or do not. New episodes weekday mornings. For more info: https://marfastrategy.com | ai assisted fiction
