Their new full feature documentary, "Out of Nothing: The DPW Story" highlights the amazing humans who make up the Department of Public Works, detailing the immense effort, dedication, love, and talent it takes to build a temporary city in the desert. Profiles in Dust self-funded the in-field production costs for "Out of Nothing: The DPW Story." They now need to raise $25,000 to complete the film; funds will cover editing bay rental, graphics production, mixing and mastering costs. Learn more and help out by visiting their crowdfunding page.
