"Tomatoes in the Treetops" is based on a book by Ben Earl Kitchens of Iuka, Mississippi
. The book contains short anecdotes and stories about local character Harry Rhine,
affectionately known as "the biggest liar in Tishamingo County."

This was my first award-winning video. It won First Place, Comedy Division, in the 1987
Alpha Epsilon Rho national competition.

Noteworthy folklore:

  • The actor portraying Harry Rhine had never ridden a horse prior to this
    production.

  • The mosquito scene was the most complex and time-consuming  sequence to
    create. It always reminded me of some of the crazy animations from classic
    Saturday Night Live episodes.

  • The creation of the liar's bench at the country store will remain our production
    crew's own little secret.
