The late George Kuchar's "Mongreloid", available on YouTube. A one person, one dog film. Something like it could be made while sheltering in place. A biography of the dog, Bocko, who belonged to George and his twin brother, Mike. He was Mike Kuchar's dog. He brought Bocko to San Francisco where George Kuchar lived and worked and left him with George when he went back to New York.
Bocko had a significant role in Mike Kuchar's "The Craven Sluck" which doesn't appear to be available on YouTube now. It's available on DVD along with "The Sins of the Fleshapoids".
Bocko lived an extremely long life for such a large dog.
"The MONGRELOID documents my relationship with my dog and parts of it were shot by an ex-student of mine so I guess you can look at it as him getting his revenge since I was photographed in my own habitat which makes me automatically look like an idiot." – George KucharI don't know what to tell you. It's 4 AM. I'm getting ready to go buy groceries. The store opens at 5 AM and is open to the elderly and others at high risk from COVID-19. I'm neither, but I live with my mother who's pushing ninety and I'm afraid of bringing the virus home with me. I'll go in at 5 AM when the store will be nearly empty then come home and disinfect everything as I bring it into the house, then try to get a little sleep before I go to work.
I've really gotten used to never going anywhere.
[6:44 AM: I went to the store. There was an old guy wearing a mask that only covered his mouth, not his nose. For some reason he was digging though the packages of tortillas on the shelf. Really leaning in there, trying to get to any that were in the back. This is one reason you should disinfect your groceries before you bring them inside.]
