BEN PICKLE

In case you haven’t seen it, want to see it again, or can’t make the Strange Beauty Film Festival tomorrow afternoon, below is our friend Nic Beery’s BEN PICKLE. The film is about Ben, “a mischievous 12 year old who lives more inside his brain than outside in the real world.” Below is a detailed description of this fun and whimsical ride that I highly recommend. Watch the film below and make sure to head over to WUNC ‘State of Things’ to listen to yesterday’s show in which Nic talks about BEN PICKLE. Enjoy.

Based on a true story, everything happened exactly as you see it in this film. It is real time also, so it all happened in 12 minutes and 35 seconds. Produced by BeeryMedia.com Ben and the rest of us hope you enjoy this sweet gherkin cut.

Follow the adventures of twelve year old Ben as he tries to navigate fantasy and reality during one hot summer day.

Meet Miss Frog, Mr. Wizard, Mr. Biker in a tree, the car jumping neighbor, Donovan, the Rock God and others in this spirited comedy that breaks every film rule and keeps you laughing the whole way.

Cast and crew - Ben Mercer, Maggie West, Michel Barbachán, Dawn Swartz, Ish Abdelkhalek, Nic Beery, Simon Beery, Mike Harris, Jim McQuaid, Bill Elias, Ben Turney, Sarah Huck, Anna Huck, Pam Huck, Patti Mercer, The Swartz Girls, John Millbank, and the gang at the new hope Valley Railroad.

Mind bogglingly good music by Twink, Crispy Bess, and Erich Lieth.
