I was out shooting storm clouds. To my surprise, crows began to circle in the sky. At first half a dozen, then a hundred, then several hundred. I found myself in a village of crows with a full surround-sound of eerie choral voices. My sister Janet later told me of the Ted Hughes book,\u00a0<em>Crow<\/em>, from which I pulled the epigram that ends the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ghhjcuaV7q0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Alien Ways, 2011 5:11 min.\u00a0<\/em><br>Originally conceived as a sequel to\u00a0<em>Walk the Walk<\/em>, showing the interaction of Jay and his ebullient niece Emma. However, the project took on a life of its own soon after Jay&#8217;s arrival in Nova Scotia. He had crossed the country on an exhausting motorcycle journey and burst upon his relatives with many stories to share&#8211;a special visitor indeed. For the film, we decided to use a Man Who Fell to Earth approach, giving a SF twist to the story, as Emma discovers &#8220;the alien&#8221; in the woods and brings him to life, then befriends him by teaching him a few of the ways of human culture. The film is a humorous take on Jay&#8217;s adaptation to his own family and to settled life after two months camping on the road, and suggests how important and how fleeting such moments of interaction are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doug &amp; Kathleen are a Nova Scotia-based filmmaking team.
