My great friends at Antiquated Future are now carrying DVDs of the film, along with a hodgepodge of my other Paul Bunyan creations. For those of you who missed the tour, or the kickstarter, you can still get your mitts on the film!
"Paul Bunyan and punk documentarian have a complicated relationship"
Thanks to John Enger for this great write-up at Minnesota Public Radio!
In The Shadow of Paul Bunyan Kickstarter!
It's finally up! Please take a look and consider donating.
"In the Shadow of Paul Bunyan is an experimental first person documentary about colonial heritage, mythmaking in northern Minnesota, the US/Dakota war of 1862 and a certain iconic pair of roadside attractions in Bemidji, Minnesota. The film explores the way the Anglo-American caricature of Paul Bunyan overshadows the many complex histories of this state. Using rarely seen archival materials and observational 16mm film, In the Shadow of Paul Bunyan is an expedition into the hidden corners of this land we call Minnesota."
Please donate to Northern Spark!
