OK, so let’s get a little back-story here. Last summer, my good friend Adam invited me to come up to his cabin near Hayward, Wisconsin. That part isn’t exactly news, I’ve been going to this particular cabin every summer for years — even back when it actually had running water. BUT, this year we would be given the charge of completely tearing down one of the property’s two cabins.

I’m sure you can understand my giddiness at the proposition. In fact I just had to bring my camera to document the process.

Fast-forward to last Monday, 10:30pm. I was struggling to finish cutting together some found footage before the MNKINO “Non-fiction” screening the next day, and really not liking where it was going. In a desperate move, I started looking through some unlabeled MiniDV tapes to see if I could find something interesting. And then I found this.

You’ll be happy to know that the product of this video was put to good use the following weekend — although, sadly, I couldn’t be present to test it myself.
