2023 Winner

Go RVing Canada’s “You Are Out There” film, by Broken Heart Love Affair, features a man doing what so many dream of: ditching the daily office grind and living a life surrounded by nature. Instead of taking the subway home from work, the man literally runs the other way, tossing away his briefcase and suit jacket as he heads out of the city on foot. Steady camera shots in the city give way to handheld shots as he sheds his belongings. The grey and blue tones of urban life transition to sun-dappled earth tones outside of the city. In the woods, the man stumbles upon another version of himself, which he chases but doesn’t catch up to until they both jump off a cliff and into the water, hugging each other and crying – a baptism or rebirth of sorts. The alternate version of the man emerges on the other side of the water. He smiles when he sees a picturesque scene of people camping out with their RVs, and walks towards them.
