OUR TOWN
All of the Our Town episodes are now available on the Moon Drunk Films Vimeo On Demand site. Instead of offering a rent or buy option where you might pay .99 to rent an episode or buy it for a considerably higher price I decided to just offer the buy option at .99. This way you can watch it as many time as you wish or download it to your computer/device and watch it whenever you please or burn a DVD of it and watch it on your TV. All in the high resolution that it was meant to be in. This will also serve as a way for Moon Drunk Films and the Our Town project to potentially support itself financially. So, please click below and see what the Vimeo On Demand site has to offer! There are also extra features that anyone can watch at any time. Thank you!

Kevin Willmott is a Lawrence filmmaker, writer, KU professor, and actor. He is best known for his film C.S.A. (Confederate States of America). He just finished the sci-fi comedy DESTINATION: PLANET NEGRO and is currently in post-production on Jayhawkers.
Episode 4: Roger Martin
Roger Martin might be best known as a co-editor of "Cows Are Freaky When They Look at You: An Oral History of the Kaw Valley Hemp Pickers". He edited KU's first research magazine and was a commentator on the local NPR affiliate for several years. He talks about dreaming, drugs, and the Mennonite church.
Episode 5: Mike & Katie West
Episode 6: The Last Victor Continental Show
The West Family ended up in Lawrence after having been forced to leave New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina. They have two lovely bands (Truckstop Honeymoon and 40 Watt Dreams), four lovely children, and produce some of the best music from Lawrence and around the country right out of their own studio, the 9th Ward Pickin' Parlor.
The Victor Continental Show has been a Lawrence institution for 15 years. Last year it was decided that the time had come to stop doing it. This is what it looks like to mourn and celebrate the bawdy skit comedy show (and the creative people who made it happen) that has had Lawrencians looking forward to their summers for 15 years.
