Beards, Subarus and psychics: A holistic journey to Boise State

It’s not too often you find dusty bearded, tarot-card reading psychics, Subarus and an unsure freshman on one screen, but that’s exactly what Non-Linear Productions juxtaposed in its recently released video, “Journey to Boise State.”

The video was crafted after the the university decided it needed something innovative to begin the annual State of the University Address. Good call.

The seven-minute video walks you through the process “young Billy” takes to decide on attending Boise State.

Spoiler: Billy begins by driving his trusty, though rusty, Subaru wagon into a seemingly super-far-away desert. There he finds a white tent with a psychic inside prepared to help him decide his university path. After avoiding death (for now) the psychic confirms that Boise State is the school for him. Boise. State. Boise… It’s really funny.
