This impossible to find rare gem was rescued from oblivion thanks to composer Ethan Neuburg lending me his vintage VHS copy for upload. The quality is low for sure, but quite decent for an NTSC VHS. There's a touch of audio distortion in the beginning, but it rarely happens anywhere else in the film. The black and white is intentional and not a problem with this copy. I do not own the rights to this film. No infringement intended. After searching every possible outlet I could find, this appears to be one of the only public copies in known existence. I'm uploading it here in the hopes Danny Irom and everyone else connected with this lovely film don't have their labor of love forever lost. I sought this film out after interviewing Craig Wasson himself who highly recommended I track it down...
