This single-channel video documents a cultural event in the small Midwestern town of Cuyuna, Minnesota, an area that once held the nation’s supply of iron ore. Each year, people from across the region gather as hundreds of wood ticks are collected and raced. Deeply symbolic and rich in human observation, this short offers a portrait of one of America’s once-thriving industrial sites. 2015, digital video, 20 min.
