Meet the Aurochs (aka Beasts - or are they?!)
http://content.foxsearchlight.com/inside/node/5219

This may be my all time fav still shot from the film, even more so than the girl running with the 2 roman candles in her hands...






Quvenzané & an Auroch - can you spell Brave?!

I've seen pot-bellied pigs...these are 'not' them - or 'not' their real size at least & then those horns/tusks... no matter they were spectacularly awe-some?!

And she did 'not' show that strong beast her weak heart either!!

The Aurochs have a trailer? Who knew...

The Standard - Culture - Interview of Beasts Director...
http://www.standardculture.com/posts/6796-THE-STANDARD-INTERVIEW-Beasts-of-the-Southern-Wild-Director-Benh-Zeitlin-

Magical-Realist film...

Benh Zeitlin says...

"Celebrated the holdouts...
Music it's my first language...
It’s a great thing for an actor: When they go into a house and open a drawer there’s something in it
People here are judged on their joy. It’s like, How much joy do you have?...
We had a story we wanted to tell and we told it however we could...
What’s happened with this movie it’s that people want to see something they didn’t know they wanted to see..."


Quvenzané on fire...in so many ways?!

note: another fav line in the movie is when she says something like: this is my favorite thing...to be lifted - she's in her Momma's arms being held while she's dancing, then comes a visual memory of her as a new born baby being held/being lifted by her Daddy...such a sad sweet realization that in her short baby to girl life she's only been lifted/been held/been hugged perhaps such a few times - it makes your heart ache to just think about it...and it makes you want to hug your kids/your G-Babies/ your little dogs too at least a half dozen times or more before the day is out?!

Local...

Where Traveler - New Orleans - Mobile/Digital - August 2012 issue...
or the real/paper/hold in your hand Printed Magazine & read The Sundance Kid on page 14...

Beasts Director Answers these Questions:

"In interviews elsewhere you've said that you want to continue to live and make movies here forever. Why New Orleans?"

"Name New Orleans' most cinematic spot."

"Let's test your New Orleans/New York loyalties. Saints or Giants?"

"PizzaDelicious (a twice weekly Bywater pop-up restaurant) or the Joint (pg 26)?"

"Bagels or buttermilk drops?"

(my note: I had never heard of buttermilk drops before?! There is a real bakery - it's in Treme - read more about them here on their webpage... http://www.buttermilkdrop.com/ my next trip I 'must' find them, somehow/someway... I must experience a buttermilk drop?! The Buttermilk Drop Bakery & Cafe, Seventh Ward, 1781 N Dorgenois St, New Orleans, LA70119 Now I have a feeling it may be a donut hole, but I will go & be surprised no matter what?!)

"You chose to use local talent over professional actors. Why?"

"What's the best place in New Orleans for character research."
