Sapsucker
Directed/Written by: Christopher Holmes
Comedy (Surreal)
2007 | 12m 20s | USA

Synopsis:  One man's determination to track down and dispatch with a rare woodpecker wreaking havoc on his property puts him on the warpath. What he discovers on his hunting trip is an ecology of sight and sound that defies every natural property he's ever trusted in--and an environment far more surreal than he'd bargained for.

About the Director:  In the months leading up to Sapsucker’s creation, Christopher Holmes served as a Visiting Assistant Professor at UNC-Greensboro. He earned a BA in Electronic Media Production at the University of Akron, where he was awarded the university’s Sam Ella Dukes Memorial Poetry Prize in 2001. Currently recovering from career-threatening “Tommy John” elbow surgery, Christopher hopes to one day pitch again in the major leagues.
