Derr Robinson Steadman is a Vietnam Vet, a father and my penpal for nearly 20 years.  Nothing Is All That I Yearn For is a short video documenting Derr’s story openly from my perspective. As a victim of the PTSD he experienced from combat while serving in the Vietnam War, Derr floats in and out of reality. Through editing I am able to pull the viewing audience into his alternate state of reality while reflecting the same dark and quirky satire found in his postcards. Originally intended to be a featured length documentary, I later decided to create something that could evolve more.  I created an Instagram page for Derr that houses his drawings, postcards, photographs, oral history, and video recreations of his postcards that I have created.
