A 23-year-old filmmaker converted a van into a studio to find great stories

Zach Both's van may not look like much from the outside, but prop open the windows and you'll find yourself inside the spacious, sunlit work space of an up-and-coming filmmaker.

Both lives and works out of this van, custom-designed to fit his nomadic, creative life. He even wrote a "Vanual" to help others who might want to install a stove, folding bed, and other amenities in their own vehicles.

The 23-year-old filmmaker is traveling around the United States in search of compelling stories - some that already exist, and some that he has yet to write.

"The opportunity to constantly be meeting and surrounded by people who have completely different views of the world has been immensely helpful in this," he said. "Each person has a unique perspective and background that have contributed and influenced what stories I tell and how I go about telling them."
