DOC SHORTS: MAVERICKS

Portraits of humans at their eccentric, creative-minded best – a crowd-pleasing delight. Filmmakers are expected to be in attendance.

CHASIN’ BUTTERFLIES
Joshua Harding, Adam Hobbs, and Matt Klug, USA, 19 min
This charming portrait of eccentric Alabama artist Butch Anthony peels back the layers of the man who created a quirky drive-thru museum, a trophy-covered Cadillac, and a pontoon pirate ship known as Llatikcuf (read it backwards) to reveal the mind of a true maverick.

GOING GREENLAND
Erich Roepke, Jessica Baker, and Rachael Burks, USA, 23 min
Female adventurists Jessica Baker and Rachael Burks embark on an inspiring and formidable journey to explore Greenland’s West coast fjords and towering mountains in one of the world’s first renewable energy sailboats.

INSIDE THE BEAUTY BUBBLE
Cheryl Bookout and Cheri Gaulke, USA, 31 min
Jeff Hafler fancies himself as the world’s first hairstorian. Opening a kitschy pastel dreamland of 3,000 vintage beauty artifacts in the desert community of Joshua Tree, Hafler demonstrates that sometimes it’s strong people on the margins of society that hold a community together.
