In the Blood; Score and film by Sumner McKane

Here’s the trailer for Sumner McKane’s fascinating live multimedia exhibit about Maine lumbermen and river drivers in the 19th century. Sumner is an accomplished musician and has contributed scores for a number of documentaries, but here he’s created both. Check out his portrait of the sparsely-studied culture of the men who lived and worked in logging camps. (And don’t miss the part around 3:10 where a guy surfs down the river standing on a log).
