Along with this launch is the release of two new DVDs available in the BrettIngram.org store:   1. Bruce Bickford’s startlingly original stop-motion masterpiece, PROMETHEUS’ GARDEN (28 min., 1988), which comes with a brilliant commentary track by Bruce Bickford, a stunning alternate score by Shark Quest’s Laird Dixon, and a 28-min. documentary featurette directed by me and entitled LUCK OF A FOGHORN: the Making of Bruce Bickford’s Prometheus’ Garden. 2. The all new “Collector’s Edition” DVD of MONSTER ROAD, featuring a DVD-9 encode for better image quality, the original soundtrack by Shark Quest, and 15 additional minutes (45 min. total) of extras including rare Bickford animation and deleted scenes from the documentary.I hope you will take the time to explore the entire site. View the trailers and buy the DVDs. Bruce Bickford needs your support to continue making some of the most original animation on the planet.  Thanks!  Brett
