Worshiping bouncelight in our alpine cathedral of peaks & clouds

But I got to see the world premiere of Alicia Nogueira’s polished gem of a short, Woodsy, starring Telluriders Angela Mallard and David Brankley. It makes you wonder whom the Forest Service is really protecting in letting elites from all over the world recreate on public land for beaucoup bucks but outlawing local working class folks from choosing a life of voluntary simplicity in the woods. Certainly, seen through the sensitive Brazilian lens of Nogueira’s film artistry, woodsies come out looking like more appealing neighbors than that Houston millionaires jetting into town twice a year to entertain at their trophy home monuments to local construction.
