I have moved from New York to Raxo, Pontevedra, Spain, for a year. I have applied to film schools to get an MFA in the 2011-2012 school year, and in the meantime am working on film projects and exploring my history in the town where my mother was born. This blog chronicles my thoughts and experiences living in another country.

Call It, Cerdo (Part 2)
Fernando proudly showing off his handiwork (I think this is a gall bladder...but I never went to med school, and cheated on my pig lab in high school)
The whole cardiopulmonary system...from the tongue all the way down to the lungs. (Note Gonzalo smiling in the background...he always gets a kick out of Emily and I photographing/filming things.)
Cleaning out some excess blood
One of my favorite shots: cleaning out the snout and head...notice the blood dripping through the hole in the skull from the cattle gun.
...and from the mouth.
Group effort to prepare it for hanging.
Final product...that's a dead pig.
Blood dripping from the tail.
The head wound.
And, finally, Gonzalo disposing of all the viscera/unusable parts into the field.
