SUGGESTED BY MIKE NAUGHTON--

Cotton Candy and Elephant Stuff

(opening clip) jkrawitz1





The arduous lifestyle of a traveling circus often contradicts the romantic notion of "running away with a circus." This film documents the daily routines of the small, family-owned Franzen Bros. Circus which performs in a new town each day. While focusing on those aspects of the circus which are not generally accessible to the circus audience, Cotton Candy and Elephant Stuff captures the magic and the banality of circus life.

  1. Nice clip, Dick. Wayne was a good friend of mine and missed very much.
