Ben Talbott has been making experimental films and photographs since the mid eighties. His film work accompanies Avalanche Ranch, This evening-length work tells a Texas tall tale — a love war of cattle mutilations, family loyalty, passion and cosmetics. In the tradition of cult epics, see the lonely outsider Lila Hoop tear the Bonecutter family apart as she innocently pursues her love for Gard Gurgan Bonecuter, Mama’s oldest son. Avalanche Ranch features four action drummers, four instrumentalists, one major character who appears only on film, short between-scenes monologues and film projections.?
