(Matt Wilkins, USA, 2004, DV, 84 min)
Bill, the aging patriarch of a semi-rural Washington family, is hell-bent on tearing down his barn with a hundred foot cable and a winch. His family watches in horror and fascination as the man they love drifts away from them. The third feature produced through WigglyWorld's Start-to-Finish grant program was made by acclaimed Seattle filmmaker Matt Wilkins.
