A YouTube Yoga tutorial. A collapsed body. An expanded view. "My Expanded View" uses the format of a YouTube yoga tutorial and its collapse as a basis for exploration of new age spirituality, domestic surveillance, and camera technologies. How do we document the body and who is doing the documenting?

"[My Expanded View] should be labelled as a tutorial on shooting in the age of digital cinema. Hughes delivers a masterclass on using tools such as drones, iPads, Osmo cameras, and thermal cameras, to expand our views on how images can be created today." - Stefan Ivančić, Locarno Film Festival

The internet in Cuba is very slow. Movies, television, and information are exchanged through a black market system of media distribution via external hard drives known as “el paquete semanal.” Shot over the course of a day in the town of San Antonio de los Baños, the film combines narrative, documentary, and experimental elements to create, like the paquete itself, new images and new connections between distant and unseen forces. A meditation on the flow of data and the search for human connection in a groundless world. Produced during Black Factory Cinema's Filmmaking in Cuba workshop taught by Werner Herzog.
