Petunia and Chicken—Cinematheque

My wife and I created Petunia and Chicken when we were engage, and drunk on the nectar of love!

This classic love story combines the epic scale of romance movies, the heartbreaking struggle of pioneers as depicted in the works of author Willa Cather, and the poignant beauty of old time music.  We often describe it as “Gone With the Wind on the turn of the century American prairie,” and we’d love to share it with you!
