Reckless 2013 Vimeo Work Work Direct

(Note: If you were referring to a different specific video—such as a "reckless driving" PSA or a short film by a student—the themes of visual storytelling below will still apply, but this essay focuses on Palmer’s short, which is a notable piece of Vimeo "Staff Pick" history).

These "Reckless" films usually featured a protagonist in a denim jacket stealing a car or a first kiss that ended in a car crash (literally or metaphorically). The soundtrack was almost always a lo-fi remix of The xx or a Bon Iver deep cut.
