“ I think it’s an interesting story, but I want people to come and see it with low expectations. It’s not exactly Avatar with spray cans.

I caught this gem for the first time during this weekend’s 2010 Winter Olympics coverage. It is remarkable how these 60 seconds can be more compelling than any sporting event I’ve seen at the Vancouver games so far. Music by The Hours.
