Carnival Coast
Short Film (Full Length) – 1974
People who own things like coastal land ... [well] that’s something that everybody has a share in — that’s just the way it is!
– The Ringmaster (Ian Mune)
Look Sancho, they’ve subdivided your island: some rascal has put an A-frame on it!
– ‘Don Quixote’
Ladies and gentlemen: never fall in love — at least not until your beach place has sewerage reticulation.
– The Ringmaster (Ian Mune)
There’s nothing wrong with everyone having a whack at the beach. It’s just that we have to figure out something to keep people out of each other’s hair.
– The Ringmaster (Ian Mune)
