It doesn’t matter if you live in the Midwest, grew up there, or haven’t even been close, this video will make you a homesick, blubbering mess in less than four minutes.
Shot mostly near South Bend, Indiana, the video shows a Midwest full of life and excitement, from rock concerts to hot air balloon flights. You’ll also see the charming quieter moments; I especially like the lone barn at 1:37.
Director Ryan Blaske shows us the passing of time. Wide blue skies become dark starry night scenes. And yet, you want to stop time and make it stand still. You want to take it all in and cherish it. Because, after all, there’s no place like home, right?
