Dog Ears Books documentary project




For most of 2021 I lived in Bennington, Vermont, and visited Dog Ears Antiquarian books regularly to spend large chunks of my pandemic unemployment benefits, sit for hours on the floor of the art history section, and chat with the old men who ran the place. 
Lou, the shop’s one employee, became a real pal of mine, and in a way so did Geoffrey, the shop’s 96 year old owner. in the weeks before I moved from Vermont to New York City, I recorded nearly three hours of audio conversations with Lou and Geoff, and almost as much video footage. Sadly, I lost nearly all of my documentation in a data transfer when I got a new phone, and all I have left is about an hour of footage, mostly b-roll, and the photos from my camera. In June 2023, I screened an “extended trailer” for a documentary that will always remain unfinished.
