Co-Director / Producer: Jason Gardner / Brian Tarney Editor: Mike Pilgram, editspecialists.com In Cajun country Louisiana, everyone “masks” in the traditional Courir de Mardi Gras, when the masked revelers chase after a live chicken, for inclusion in the gumbo that will be served to the community. “Our Mardi Gras is absolutely an artistic movement.
