Today is director James Nguyen’s birthday!
Nguyen is known for directing such fine films as …. well, he directed some movies that have found fame for various reasons. For instance, there’s a little film called Birdemic. And then there’s Birdemic 2. And then there’s a Birdemic 3….
Anyway, today’s scene that I love comes from Birdemic. Thank you, James Nguyen, for introducing me to the perfect song to sing whenever my family gets together.

After three really difficult months, I’m ready to get back to the Shattered Lens. And what better way to start things anew than with this latest music video from Annie Hardy. The video stars some of her friends as well. I love the possum, especially.
(We’ve got quite a few possums that live around here and Erin and I are always happy to see one of them making its way through our backyard at night. The possums will always be safe around here.)
Annie Hardy previously starred in Dashcam, which I still consider to be the best film made about what life was like during the COVID lockdowns. Check it out if you haven’t already.
Enjoy!
