Beasts of the Southern Wild by, Aaron Charny

Beasts of the Southern Wild is the story of survival. Six year old, Hushpuppy lives with her dad in “The Bathtub” the southern wetlands of Louisiana. As a storm floods “The Bathtub” and her father gets sick, Hushpuppy needs to learn how to survive on her own.

Director, Benh Zeitlin uses shaky camera and rack focus to bring the viewer into the environment of The Bathtub. The visuals, from the flooded homes of south Louisiana, along with the acting from
Hushpuppy (Quvenzhané Wallis), makes this film extraordinary.
