“In 1890, one man had the idea to collect every bird ever mentioned in Shakespeare

to describe “invasive species.” It is also about the paths people forge through history, intentionally
or not, as they attempt to change the natural world.”

Written & directed by Jessica Bardsley & Penny Lane.

Don’t know whether these are the original, or re-edited, trailers
but they’re wonderful, wonderful.
Watch and marvel.
I know neither of these films but I can’t wait to get my sweaty
palms on the DVDs from Eureka Cinema’s Masters of Cinema series.

Chasin’ Gus’ Ghost (2007, 70.2MB, 5:48)

Blame this post on my current obsession with jug bands
(fact: one generation back, most of my family was from
the sticks). Or blame it on my desire to bridge old and new
media. A trailer oddly lacking actual jug footage, still a nice
montage.
