On the Practical Advantages of Clotting
TIME: A fortnight after Hallowe’en, 1898. Sunset.

A game hunter takes her younger brother along to hunt bear. The bear objects.
Jim: Christopher Williams
Ronnie: Leah Rae Witt
Pamela: Heidi Schultz
Pre-Code
TIME: The recent past. A brisk, coat-worthy fall day.
PLACE: A local chain restaurant. Houlihan’s, perhaps.
Two former high school teachers discuss their post-retirement hobbies. One has started collecting pre-code movie memorabilia. The other has chosen a less conventional activity.
Dorcas: Julane Sullivan
Verna: Brenda Scharlau
Put Da Back
TIME: A sunny afternoon, not too long ago.
PLACE: Dingle, Ireland. The seaside cottage of the McCaba family.
