When skunks attack
A press release from the Halifax-based Nimbus Publishing announced today that author Lesley Choyce has just uploaded the first installment of his three-part “animal epic film” to YouTube. The Skunk Whisperer was filmed in 2002 – and was subsequently screened at that year’s Maine International Film Festival, apparently – and has since been spun off into a children’s picture book entitled Skunks for Breakfast.
Curious, Quillblog took a look and found a somewhat bizarre – okay, totally bizarre – 10-minute documentary about the Choyce family and how it was stalked and terrorized by a skunk. One by one, each member of the family recounts their part in what will presumably be revealed, in the subsequent installments, as a man-versus-animal donnybrook for the ages.
According to Nimbus, the second installment will be uploaded tomorrow (Feb. 15), and the third sometime before the end of the month.
All three segments of the documentary are now live on http://www.youtube.com/LesleyChoyce
