Slingshot Nomad
Boston
Slingshot is a short film produced by Johnny Chanthavong and Joe Wight.
"In orbital mechanics and aerospace engineering, a gravitational slingshot, gravity assist maneuver, or swing-by is the use of the relative movement (e.g. orbit around the Sun) and gravity of a planet or other astronomical object to alter the path and speed of a spacecraft." This is a film about the intersection of travel, community, food and culture. It follows the journey of a first generation Asian-American man in his quest to share his favorite dish for strangers across the United States.
