Friend, host, and director Matthew Graham speaks with a man at his camp beneath a hotel on the Las Vegas Strip

Out of Sight: A Documentary on Homelessness in Las Vegas

April 08, 2015

Friends, 

Last year in April some very talented friends and I elected to get out and make something. Our careers were stagnant....we were all underpaid PAs in L.A., and we were hungry for creation and storytelling. That turned out to be a documentary on the homeless population that live within the rain tunnels of Las Vegas. It was our first time working together on a documentary, and first time making something that deep and heavy. Working up the courage to dive headlong into dark, unknown tunnels together is no easy task, and I fondly recall the adrenaline of every moment.

I am proud to say it is finished.  

 EDIT: I was unaware of the popularity of this short doc after all these years. I must admit looking back on our work the cinematography was surely lacking in it’s quality, but we were young and new to the industry. I am happy that people continue to have an interest in these people, and I encourage anyone with a gifting heart to donate to the local charities of Las Vegas. Cheers :)

Please watch at the link below, and enjoy. Much love, 

-Matt
