  • CONTESTS USA - In search of the offbeat and extraordinary aspects of ordinary people,  Blumberg has often documented regional American culture. Here with co-producer Jules Bacakus, he celebrates the idiosyncracies and pride that distinguish small town America.
    SUMMER SKI JUMPING, produced in Lake Placid NY, documents the thrill and comaraderie of local residents as they demonstrate the non-competitive spirit of off-season sport at the 33rd annual 4th of July Summer Ski Jump. In THE UGLY DOG CONTEST, proud owners parade their canines (pedigree, mutt and all ugly.) FESTIVAL OF MUSICAL SAWS displays the resourcefulness of virtuoso saw players of Santa Cruz, California.
