Trashpo Selection Process

Diane, I feel like I'm witnessing the first moon landing or Kennedy assassination.

It's like the most brilliant thing - the narrative, the editing... everything.

Just historic!

This is the"Andalusian Dog" of Trashpo. And no film has had a more powerful opening image since "Andalusian Dog."

DK encounters the dead squirrel, which symbolizes the end of RoaDKill. And from its corpse, Trashpo is born. Each object encountered on this allegorical journey is of deep significance.

A masterpiece. I nominate it for a special Trash Politzer!

The script is brilliant. My favorite memorable line so far is: "Get it because hopefully I'm going to do this without sound." That's in the bow tie sequence.

What a success, what a tension, love it!

I was hoping to use the Jaws soundtrack with it on my trashhunt. I was going for the Blair Witch Project handheld look-a horror movie for the germaphobe.  some film ended up on the cutting room floor. Thanks for your comments!

This definitely works as a "How To" guide for Trashpo as well as art.

Carina, I agree with the tension. Each time the camera cuts to a new piece of trash, I'm on the edge of my chair: "Will DK pick it up?" And it's really interesting what she keeps & passes on - that's the genius at work.

You guys realize you shouldn't be encouraging me. Much to your misfortune, there is more on its way. The next installment is outakes that ended up on the cutting room floor. It is my belief that life should be uncensored, so for the sake of full disclosure I will be posting it.

Diane, this is great on many levels. You may have started something here. The dead squirrel is priceless, pure genius.

Thank you Erni and Nothing--no Squirrels in Germany? how weird. They're everwhere here. We live on a busy street as you can hear in the video, so animals are getting hit all the time. It's really sad. Nothing-I like that "Trash Eyes Open" sounds like a great title. I hope you make a video named that. I've set the bar extremely low as to be a limbo stick.

alas and alack....there's more

Super cute! more the color of a fox. I hope the German squirrels don't meet the same fate as they do here. Does vulgaris mean vulgur? if so, how unfair.
