More with Leonard at Hi-Line, but still isn’t strong on a technical level. Leonard climbing on his bicycle and riding away is good; also, a nice traveling shot as Leonard pedals along road; Leonard introduces songs he has written, plays guitar and begins singing away at back side of his portable truck-home. He talks about his life in Vermont, watching Western movies, propane tank fire which burned both hands. “People just seem to love me all over…to know that ‘God is love.’” Good composition and framing here as Christian cross on mountain can be seen over Leonard’s shoulder while he speaks.
