Charlie Warner. He’s an 81-year-old media professor and former media executive from New York. He’s had bone marrow cancer. (It’s now in remission.) He had open-heart surgery. He still has diabetes. And yet he made the journey to the Burning Man festival, in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, to experience something transcendent. And the festival didn’t disappoint. Filmmaker Jan Beddegenoodts documented Warner’s experience in a short film called Charlie Goes to Burning Man. You can watch the touching short in an embedded format above. But it’s even better to go to the film’s website, where you can view it in a visually-appealing, full-screen format. Be warned: It’s Burning Man, so there are some Not Safe for Work (NSFW) moments in the film.
