Ransom Riggs
My one-minute documentary
by Ransom Riggs - March 26, 2007 - 9:01 AM

This is a micro-short documentary I made a while back, which I thought I’d finally share here. This is how the AFI Silverdocs Film Festival blurbed it: “Super-8 films found in a shoebox give glimpses of a young man; all that remain of the father the filmmaker never knew.” Song by haunting blues songstress Geechie Wiley, recorded in the 1930s.

“Skinny Leg Blues”
