If we told you we programmed a film about rodents you do not want to miss, you might say, WHAT?

An unusual film about an unusual circumstance.

In RODENTS OF UNUSUAL SIZE, filmmakers Quinn Costello and Chris Metzger track the giant swamp rats invading coastal Louisiana and the defiant people who are defending their communities, culture, and livelihoods against them.

We agree with HOLLYWOOD REPORTER that it's "quirky and informative," and we learned a lot. We were totally captivated me. You will never think of Louisiana the same way again.

Brought to you by THE FINGER LAKES ENVIRONMENTAL FILM FESTIVAL. Cinemapolis, 12:30 PM, Saturday, April 14.

Tickets available at Cinemapolis. Use your FLEFF pass to pre-buy tickets.
