In August 2007 a band of misfits set out to find the world's best Buffalo wing.

Coming in 2009, The Great Chicken Wing Hunt will tell their story.

News from director Matt Reynolds:

Lucie and I got hitched! August 23, in my hometown, Lyons, NY. Watch a film about how I proposed under 'clips'.

We've since moved to NYC, where I'm working on a master's degree in documentary film.

I bumped into NYC day hunter Kevin Connors last week at the National Wing fest in Buffalo. I roped him into performing in a Matt-bumps-into Kevin scene, played as though it were last year, for use in tying together a sequence from 2007. Kevin asked me how I felt now that the hunt was over, and I said was both happy and relieved, but that I was worried that Thor was too tired from competing to finish the trip.

Kevin was a good sport. But he had a hard time remembering to pretend it was 2007. We have a lot of footage from the hunt that we need to make gel with re-enactments and figuring out what to shoot, and when and how to shoot it, is a slow, painstaking process.

By the way, hats off to Kevin for traveling from New Jersey to Buffalo every year for the wing fest. I'd love to hear from other NYC hunters. Email me at matt@chickenwinghunt.com.
