Defend Nebraska

John Glen Weaver for U.S. Senate

Defend Nebraska tells its story almost entirely through movement: a flight suit, an open runway, a plane leaving the ground and Nebraska seen from above.

The story

Built around John Glen Weaver’s military aviation background, the film turns the act of flying into a portrait of readiness, perspective and continued service. The landscape below is not simply a campaign location; it becomes the thing the title asks him to defend.

The idea

With almost no spoken argument, the film relies on visual association. Weaver’s experience, Nebraska’s land and the responsibility of public office are brought together in one sustained metaphor: service may change its form, but the mission remains.
