Bill Brown is a "nomadic"[3] filmmaker, photographer, and author from Lubbock, Texas.
Brown has produced films on the United States–Mexico border, North Dakota missile silos, the Trans-Canada Highway, among other places. The films have been exhibited at numerous film festivals and museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York.[4][5] He describes his films as postcards with a pretty picture but instead of words on the back, his films are narrated with voiceover[6][1].
Brown is also the author of a zine called Dream Whip[7] which currently has 15 issues, and the book Saugus to the Sea (ISBN 978-0968974407). In 2001 Brown received the Creative Capital Award in the Discipline of Moving Image.[8]
