From 1984 to 1988, Robb Moss travelled around the world as a free-lance cameraman. In 1984 he got married, to Jean. They decided to start a family. During the subsequent four years, Robb's life moved to and fro between his job as a cameraman and the regular, but failing attempts to have children. In THE TOURIST he brings these two worlds together and examines the various ways in which the personal and professional crises mirrored each other: at times comically, sometimes ironically, at other times confusedly. A reflection on fertility, uselessness, and making documentaries.
