Anyone Lived in a Pretty How Town

On another website was a listing of all the Lucas films (including the student films.)

As I scanned down it, I noticed "Anyone Lived in a Pretty How Town" which was a short film.
I was interested because of the E.E. Cummings poem by the same name which is the following,
anyone lived in a pretty how town
(with up so floating many bells down)
spring summer autumn winter
he sang his didn't he danced his did

Women and men(both little and small)
cared for anyone not at all
they sowed their isn't they reaped their same
sun moon stars rain

children guessed(but only a few
and down they forgot as up they grew
autumn winter spring summer)
that noone loved him more by more

when by now and tree by leaf
she laughed his joy she cried his grief
bird by snow and stir by still
anyone's any was all to her

someones married their everyones
laughed their cryings and did their dance
(sleep wake hope and then)they
said their nevers they slept their dream

stars rain sun moon
(and only the snow can begin to explain
how children are apt to forget to remember
with up so floating many bells down)

one day anyone died i guess
(and noone stooped to kiss his face)
busy folk buried them side by side
little by little and was by was

all by all and deep by deep
and more by more they dream their sleep
noone and anyone earth by april
wish by spirit and if by yes.

Women and men(both dong and ding)
summer autumn winter spring
reaped their sowing and went their came
sun moon stars rain

I was just wondering if anyone had any information on this short film or if anyone has seen it.

Thanks

All I've seen is the stills, probably the same ones you saw. They looked interesting.

I just found that site and it has a short video clip of the movie on it.

Loved the poem. The short clip had some nice shots in it. I'm curious if there is any spoken dialogue in the movie at all.

 

It seems very interesting.
