Bountiful Borrego!

An absurdist mockumentary tour of the 'unspoiled desert' (mostly an abandoned golf course, in fact) around Borrego Springs, California. In a metaphor for the artworld today, a privileged young woman straight out of an East Coast liberal arts college acts as our gatekeeper and guide, dispensing soundbites on the natural environment, history of 'native peoples', and even DIY home decor, and her assumed authority on these matters becomes increasingly dubious. What will get counted as art in an artworld run by over-educated cosmopolitans who call snakes mammals and can't tell a natural desert from a junkyard? the film hopes to ask.
