Washboard Hank

This deaf-and-dumb young man who is called ‘the Goose’ by his scoffing acquaintances makes the most psychedelic of journeys by fax machine. Like a goose leaving for the sun in the winter, this anti-hero is looking for somewhere else to find his own voice. Absurdist drama that makes eager use of stop-motion carpet figures, silent-film references, computer animation, video and arcade games.

Welcome to Drumheller, Alberta: a small town smack dab in the middle of the Canadian Badlands where Jesus Christ, Tyrannosaurus Rex and 3000 bikers collide in steaming irony. Juxtaposing a summer production of The Passion Play, the world’s richest dinosaur graveyard and an annual Harley rally, THE CROSS AND BONES is an ironic exploration of this town through the eyes of locals and tourists who flock to this mythical landscape, to either worship a theatrical God, dig for giant skeletons or party hardy.
