The Reach of an Arm, 2000
16mm B&W
Peculiarity and Frank Goodin, portrayed by puppets, seek their fortune as many did during the westward movement of the 1800’s. Peculiarity has seen the promise of a better life, "The trouble with you, Frank, is that you shot half your brain off. This is your chance to get rich." And, so they set out in their homemade wagon. This film is presented with live soundtrack of music, song and sound effects, employing soundtrack technologies of the early 1900’s.
