Description
This film is about Egyptian excavations in South Carolina, rum and the making of fake art in the Caribbean, a quick lesson on mushrooms and the difference between gold and lead, the story of the Great Stone character, and it manages to incorporate a butchered rendition of Rigoletto. But not talking about dogs.
The screenplay was written experimentally by two people over a one-week session. When one slept, the other wrote and vice versa. Neither knew what the other had written while asleep. The connecting edit was done by George Binkey.
