Clip description

Kev is telling the boys that they need to carry on without Franky. Scotty (Scott Angeles) tells Kev (Lafe Charlton) he is sick of playing the yidaki (didgeridoo) and wants to dance. Franky is walking along the road side, a truck pulls up, and Cowboy Woman (Lillian Crombie) leans out the window and asks Franky where he’s going.

Curator’s notes

The distinct characteristic of each performer lends itself to the comedic value that arises from the positioning of characters in relation to each other. The casting of this film is very enjoyable in that each character is perceptibly distinct, the director achieves great economy in regards to screen time.
