with filmmakers Ariana Gerstein and Monteith McCollum!
Milk in The Land weaves together a quirky, alternative
history of America's most committed culinary choice, revealing the mysterious
ways food and culture are bound together. Milk is often assumed to be the
perfect food, consumed since the beginning of time, delivered to us as a
pure gift of nature. This film amplifies and re-centers the whispered and
marginalized—yet still deeply revealing ideas surrounding this iconic
American product. Lyrical cinematography, animation, and original music
contribute to the wonder and humor of this unusual documentary portrait
of America as seen through a cup of milk. It was created with a mix of 16mm
and digital video, with original music composed by Monteith McCollum and
select songs by Mark Hadsell. DVCam projection.
