The Aluminum Fowl

I don't know how I missed this short from 2006. James Clauer, who worked on Gummo, directed this 13 minute movie, and it's produced by Harmony Korine's O'Salvation production company. It's a documentary of four brothers in the South and the way they keep themselves busy in a state of poverty. Starting fires, fighting chickens, aliens and rap music. I warn you, though, the brutal animal cruelty is realistic and sickening. It's repulsive and unecessary. The dialogue on the other hand is brilliant. Remember these aren't actors.

that's pretty good- reminds me of gummo strongly. when i was in southern ohio i drove to xenia- where gummo was shot, and hung around for a bit. it wasn't all that.

Gummo wasn't shot in Xenia, just set there. It was filmed in the south.
