Montar La Cabra

Writer/director Mindy Cole presents a tale of magical realism intertwining the skewed lives of a Southwestern family with the weirdness of cell biology and subatomic particle physics. Teenaged Bertha, a budding scientist trying to discover the rationale in life's surrealities, finds hope in the detection of the Higgs boson 'God particle' and the sudden advent of a stray goat. Shot in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this digital short film constructs droll comic metaphor for the eternal coming-of-age story.
