"The Vintner's Duck" released on Youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhzJyhrwlLs

A soulful movie with deep musings on wine, romance and the meaning of existence.

We present here the grand cultural project of the last decade for the small
island nation of Godzone. This country has invested its entire arts budget
into filming the Great Godzone Novel "The Vintner's Duck". This is enough to
pay for the title character to be played by a sock puppet. The film-makers
demonstrate great artistic integrity by using a pink sock - thereby
remaining true to the writer's intention that the duck is gay.

Always-Emerging Film-maker J.P. Calder was inspired to become involved as
producer after listening to a radio interview with director Niki Tall-Poppy.
Calder says "I cried out: 'A.K.Grant! McPhail! Gadsby! Gibson! Timson! Where
are you now that we need you?!' I can but step up in this hour of need to
emulate these role models."

Werewolf: Nature’s Boy - On Terence Malik

It’s easy to think of Malick films coming in pairs. In the 1970s: Badlands and Days of Heaven. Before those, he grew up in Oklahoma and Texas as the eldest of three brothers, studied philosophy at Harvard and Oxford but quit before finishing his doctorate. Then he studied film-making and got Badlands out just before he was 30. More>>

For anyone trying to write about it, Tom’s Midnight Garden poses a significant problem.
