Where We Stood

Submitted for consideration in Listen Local Huntsville's Music From the Moon Competition. "Where We Stood" was filmed on location outside Flagstaff, Arizona, in the same cinder fields that NASA scientists decided most closely approximated the moon's surface and thus elected as the location to test the lunar rovers. It is an ode to the human accomplishment of space travel, the optimism that such feat warrants, and the truth that our greatest successes are always achieved together. Support Sean Golightly and Hannah Prizznick with a like on their Youtube page.
