"Bold... an Ed Wood sensibility meets Sesame Street eroticism." - Roger McGuinn of the Byrds (filmmaker's dad)

Here's a peek at some early cinematic works by Patrick McGuinn. These ten award-winning short films use a blend of folkloric icons and modern dilemas to tell their humorous, fresh and unique stories. See the oddities, mysticism and boldness that would typify later works like Desert Spirits and Suroh: Alien Hitchhiker, films which have struck a cord in the hearts of millions (through the enduring magic of the VCR).

In a nationally sponsored Hostess Twinkies video competition, McGuinn's offbeat entries placed third, earning him a wristwatch, T-shirt, and FREE Twinkies - more than he could possibly eat! Vincent, the id-like puppet doppelganger for the filmmaker, munches and sings his way through Twinkies, this program, and perhaps into your psyche!

One thing's certain: after viewing, you will feel as if you've had a friendly, intimate meeting with the person behind these films. You will have been exposed to the very essence of his distinctive obsessions.
