searching for mister butch (2002)

this is the half hour film i made about my neighbor, mister butch, the exiled king of kenmore square, who lived in allston ma usa at the same time i did, except that i had a roof over my head and he didn't. true to his word, mister butch died in the street in 2007. he was missed by many. i flew back to boston for his memorial parade, i think there were like 1000 people in the street.

to make this little no budget movie i had help from amy whitten, jenny tse, jennet cook, star nigro, james ryan, and nathan lewis hughes, among others. ten years later i thank them all again.
