man. this is good. what makes it work is that everybody involved takes it so fucking seriously. if it was just a couple of drunken frat boys, chasing after a turkey with a beer in each hand, it wouldn't be nearly as amusing as watching a TEAM of four middle-aged, slightly overweight Texans, feeding their turkey PROTEIN SHAKES and training the thing on the fucking track. i don't want to say that this is like the next march of the penguins, or anything. i thought the camera work on the second race was kind of nauseauting, and there was one scene, when i couldn't see the speaker's face, cause it was in shadow. but on the whole, i definitely enjoyed it, and even laughed out loud a couple of times.

Well, gee, I'm flattered that you put this little movie up here. If you want to learn more about turkey racing, the Great Gobbler Gallop, Worthington and Cuero, take a look at the myspace site below.  It will tell you all about what happens at Turkeyfest, PLUS there is a 3 minute teaser for the full length documentary. Everything that you ever wanted to know about why this town loves its turkeys. And don't forget Turkeyfest is October 14 down in Cuero. Check out www.turkeyfest.org.

Thanks! Look forward to more open screen nights.
