Toy Tower Topped

Monday, May 19th, 2008

The famous Tower of Toys by Eddie Boros is being taken down. I’m working on a much longer video about the tower and Eddie, which will probably be done in a week or so. I wanted to get this bit up while it is still fresh news.
Part one and two of the full video here

    G! Wonderful doc you put together…not only as a documentation of Eddie and the tower, but of the people in his life.

    The song at the end worked so well with the footage. You should submit this doc to different sources.

    Excellently crafted. I look forward to seeing more!

    Thanks, I. I’ve had that song stuck in my head, it’s strange but catchy.
