THE CLOWNS
Taking cues from great comedy teams of the past like The Marx Brothers, Monty Python’s, and Cheech and Chong, these shape-shifting grave-robbers mix wit, humor, and style to subvert and enliven any situation, reminding us that light still shines in the darkest hour.
THE WITCHES
Released from the caverns of the underworld, these grave yet enigmatic bounty-hunters have one mission- find the clowns that stole their dead body and return it to it’s rightful owner. And, while they’re at it, why not pick up a few more willing passengers along the way?
THE MATADOR
Once Upon A Time In Oregon…
A noble Matador risks it all and wanders into the desert, seeking to elude the dark spirits that both inspire and haunt him. At the end of his rope, Consuelo Vargas performs a ritual in the desert, offering his soul in exchange for redemption.
THE RODEO
Just east of the Cascades, overlooking the long valley that leads to Mt. Adams, alongside a lonely stretch of highway, sits a rundown, rarely-used rodeo. A roadside sign, worn from wind and fire, haphazardly anoints the place Tygh Valley. There we set up for 6 odd days to shoot what is sure to be the greatest trailer ever shot. Cast and crew endured sub-freezing nights, bovine carcasses, and drunken elk hunters. These are the time of life.

WHITE RIVER FALLS
Not far from the Tyee Ridge Rodeo arena, the White River Falls plummet downward from the desertscape bringing a chill to the hot, sage-brushed landscape.
TYEE RIDGE RODEO
Just north of the White River along the 126 the Tyee Ridge Rodeo arena quietly sits just to the west. Mounts Jefferson and Hood framing it just so.
Yes, we play games now. But soon we must learn to dance. The music of the solar system is a dance. Life is not a game, it is a dance. The world was made for dancing.
—Alejandro Jodorowsky
