Tazing Eugene [blog]
Posted March 19, 2008 at 3:16 PM

TAZING EUGENE is a short video I did that is exactly like "Raising Arizona," but with Tasers instead of exploding money bags. And an Iraq Vet instead of Nick Cage. And...kids on the street corner instead of Holly Hunter. And directed by me, instead of the Coen Brothers. But otherwise, pretty much the same! Except...mine's non-fiction. And only a little over three minutes. And not so funny. But Tazing Eugene has cool electrical zappy sounds in it! So. That's a plus.

 

Anyway, this week's Neztastic installment of videolicious información is a piece that examines, through the eyes of some Eugene youth, what it means that police in Eugene, Oregon have now incorporated taser guns into their arsenal and recently have used one for the very first time. The newspaper says that it was justified. Others disagree. Either way, it changes the political and legal landscape over here in this piece of the Pacific Northwest.
