Ok...so I am a runner. I really like to run outside through my neighborhood and all of the surrounding ones around me. Recently I changed up my route because I was getting into a running rut. Today I passed a house that had over 41,000 eggshells in the front yard in the shapes of different animals and a cross. I honestly did not know what to think...impressive or a little strange! I came home and told my husband about what I had seen and he knew exactly what I was talking about. Apparently someone is making a movie on the couple who create "Eggshelland." It has been all over the news and is a long tradition in our town (we are relative newbies still!) Here is what I found on youtube.
After watching this trailer I have a new respect for Eggshelland. I think it is quite lovely and such a beautiful story. I think I will go see the movie when it comes out. Just thought I would share my interesting experience today!
OMG! First off, that's so awesome that you came upon it when you were running! I bet that was an amazing and shocking sight.
ReplyDeleteand next, the documentary?! YES!!
I'm pretty excited to see it! I love heart-warming stories like that.
Welcome to Eggshelland. Not just a lawn display...now it's a MOVIE!!!
ReplyDeleteThe CEDAR-LEE THEATRE, known for it's world class selection of Independent Films as well as the best of Hollywood Blockbusters, will be featuring EGGSHELLAND, a FEATURE FILM DOCUMENTARY directed by former Clevelander, Christopher Noice. The world premiere will be presented at The Cedar -Lee on Friday April 17 or Saturday April 18 at 7:00pm.
A LYNDHURST TRADITION....“Eggshelland”, (the movie), is the story of Ron and Betty Manolio, and their unique 52-year family legacy - an inspiring, colorful and poignant display of art and obsession. Celebrating Easter and Spring in their own unique way every year, the Manolios have brought joy to generations of Midwesterners waking from a long, gray winter. It 's a beautiful, funny, strange and emotional story of the many lives that have been touched, the never- ending joy of childhood in the Spring, and the resounding contentment of a life well lived. But “Eggshelland” is more than a documentary starring 60,000+ eggs. It's a nostalgic look at love, marriage and family. It's a quirky commitment to community and artistic passion. It's a delightful journey through our childhood, revisiting Cleveland legends such as Barnaby, Woodrow The Woodsman and Mr. Jingeling. It's a lemon tree that grows lemons as big as a human head. It's 4 antique cars, 3 snowstorms, 2 giant talking bunny rabbits, 1 firetruck and a tragic, police investigated, unsolved CRIME! Christopher Noice has managed to capture all of this and more, without missing one Easter morning smile on a child's face.
