THE SHRIMP
2009, 25 minutes, HD
"Calling this film timely is an understatement."
- Nicolaas Mink, award-winning author and food historian, Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison
THE SHRIMP is a lush visualist’s documentary that follows the life cycle of a shrimp along the marshes of Savannah, Georgia. Beautifully etched images and a canny audio soundtrack create a rich observational work about Southern culture, human folly and the interplay of natural and built environments.
