Truth & Kitty

A las vegas love story

Filmed & photographed over fourteen years, with rare intimacy and trust, Truth & Kitty is an unflinching look at a relationship lived out on the streets of Las Vegas, far from the dazzle of the famous Strip.

the beginning

Fourteen years. One extraordinary bond.

Filmed and photographed over fourteen years, Truth & Kitty is an intimate portrait of a relationship lived far from the spectacle of the Las Vegas Strip.
What began in 2012 as a collaboration with two people surviving through a makeshift recycling economy became something much deeper: a record of friendship, trust and a love shaped by extraordinary circumstances.

the journey

A life beyond the lights of Las Vegas.

The film follows Truth and Kitty through the unseen spaces of the city: their apartment, motels, jails, hospitals and a mountain cave overlooking the glow of Las Vegas.

Through years of change, hardship and uncertainty, their relationship is tested in ways neither could have imagined. What emerges is not a story of circumstance alone, but a portrait of two people navigating survival, devotion and the complicated reality of love.

the witness

Seeing people who have been made invisible.

Truth & Kitty gives presence and dignity to two people often overlooked by a city built around excess and escape.

Rather than reducing them to their struggles, the work reveals humour, tenderness, resilience and the enduring human need to be seen. It is an unconventional love story about faith, endurance and what remains when life becomes more difficult than either person expected.
