Trump Cuts to These College Outreach Programs are Hurting Rural California Students By Kahani Malhotra, CalMatters newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

ordering Oregon and boasting more redwoods than people, Del Norte is one of the most isolated counties in California. Nearly two hours by car from the nearest community college, students here are often chronically absent from school and are some of the least likely in the state to earn a bachelor’s degree. Former Cal Poly Humboldt adviser Julie Aicher was working here and across the rural North Coast with over 500 disadvantaged middle and high school students to put higher education on their radar when she received an update last September: the federal government had defunded her longtime program known as TRIO. TRIO is not an acronym, but rather named for the trio of initial programs: Upward Bound, Talent Search, and Student Support Services. These War on Poverty-era programs offer higher education counseling and academic support to low-income, first-generation students interested in or currently attending college. “It was really heartbreaking when we found out,” Aicher said. “I definitely cried when we told our students.” In its push against diversity and equity programs, the U.S. Department of Education canceled over $40 million in funding across the country for more than 100 TRIO programs serving nearly 45,000 students. Current and former program staff at Cal Poly Humboldt and Cal Poly Pomona confirmed that the federal government had terminated their TRIO grants because they included program goals the Department of Education said violated its equal treatment laws or merit-focused policies. In particular, the Department of Education cited Cal Poly Humboldt’s grant goal to train students to be aware of microaggressions and systemic racism as its primary reason for terminating the university’s grant. For Cal Poly Pomona, the department took

issue with its program goal of having a fair mix of grades, genders, and students with disabilities among its student cohorts. The cutoff was particularly harsh for rural areas, as TRIO projects are often the only organized forms of college counseling, financial aid support and college visit access available to students, according to TRIO advocates. A court order recently swayed the Trump administration to restore funding to over 30 of the terminated programs, but did not require them to reinstate funding. Dozens are still waiting for their funding to be lawfully reconsidered, according to the Council for Opportunity in Education, the advocatory nonprofit that led two lawsuits last year that spurred the court order. Officials from the nonprofit said those waiting include several California schools, but wouldn’t say how many. In California, historically the state with the highest number of TRIO grant awards, 13 colleges and universities housing 19 of the outreach programs had lost over $6 million in funding. In total, 7,000 students lost services across the state. Cal Poly Pomona is one of the schools fighting to have their TRIO Talent Search funding reinstated through a lawsuit filed by the Council for Opportunity in Education. Although the university has submitted three reconsiderations to get its funding back, it has received three denials from the Department of Education, according to its associate executive director of TRIO Pre-College Programs Mary Claire Gager. Eyeing funds for a new cycle, both Cal Poly Humboldt and Cal Poly Pomona applied for new TRIO grants this spring. They are hopeful they will see funding again for their Talent Search programs, which provide middle and high school students from disadvantaged backgrounds with resources to succeed in higher education, including college application help, financial aid information and campus visits. Sofia Santos-Arriola was a Talent Search adviser for Cal Poly Humboldt. She said the sud-

den cancellation left disadvantaged students across the state “high and dry,” with many grants being terminated mid-cycle and schools unable to provide equivalent resources. “This does seem like it was so directly targeted against poor people, against first-generation immigrants, against first-generation college [students],” Santos-Arriola said. For in-need students living in rural areas like Del Norte County, the ramifications of being cut off from higher education resources are even more severe. Rural students are less likely to enroll in college, less likely to graduate college, and more likely to come from households in poverty and lacking internet access. Now, Cal Poly Humboldt TRIO program director Rama Rawal says the rural Northern Californian students her program used to serve have practically no other avenue to be exposed to higher education opportunities. “They are oftentimes in communities where the college-going culture isn’t really a thing,” said Rawal. “They are in a remote place where [without TRIO], the access is gone for that exposure.”

TRIO supported high school counselors’ massive caseloads Multiple sources affirmed TRIO provided a crucial depth of support which schools are unable to fully supplant. Talent Search advisers at both Cal Poly Humboldt and Cal Poly Pomona assisted with college applications, hosted workshops on financial aid and college exploration, took students on campus visits and provided other key support for them to enter and succeed in college. Their numbers also supplemented high school counselors’ often hefty caseloads, helping to offer more individualized support. Anything Cal Poly Humboldt could provide its students would simply be “a BandAid” compared to the long-term, deep rapport Talent Search advisers build with students and high school faculty, Rawal said. “We’re talking about close to $2 million worth of resources that were lost,” she said. “That can’t just appear.” Similar programs don’t make up for the scale of Talent Search, TRIO administrators said. Upward Bound, a separate TRIO program aimed at students who are fully intent on attending college, still operates at Cal Poly Pomona, supporting 85 local high school students. But Talent Search was able to support 500 middle and high school students. “Without that added support, fewer students will complete [their applications] on time, or they’ll do them inaccurately, or they just will take the easy way out [and not

After losing their TRIO jobs at Cal Poly Humboldt, Aicher and Santos-Arriola were hired by Del Norte County Office of Education as college-career advisers. Their caseloads tripled. “Our TRIO students are the ones hurting — they are not getting the same attention and prioritization,” said Santos-Arriola. “I’m starting to forget my TRIO students’ names, and it’s heartbreaking, because they were our kids for so long.”

A program permanently changed — or on the chopping block Amid battles to get particular TRIO programs reinstated, the Trump administration has announced plans to defund the program completely. The Department of Education’s 2027 fiscal year budget, released in April, proposes to eliminate all $1.2 billion in federal funding for TRIO alongside more higher education support programs, calling them ineffective, redundant or “unconstitutional,” as part of a push to “return education to the states.” Although lawmakers are pushing back with their own data hailing TRIO as a success, the Department of Education asserts that TRIO has failed to meet the majority of its own goals. In a Senate subcommittee hearing in late April, Education Secretary Linda McMahon asserted that reforming TRIO to focus less on getting students into higher education and more on providing general postsecondary opportunities is necessary to revitalize the program. “There might be alternatives to higher education other than college, given that we do have a lack of a skilled workforce in the

country,” McMahon said at the hearing. Even if TRIO’s funding remains intact, program leaders worry the federal government has lost sight of the program’s original purpose. In a joint partnership announced in March, the Department of Labor was placed in charge of managing grants for a slew of programs under the Department of Education, including TRIO. Since then, two grant cycles run by the Department of Labor included new priorities for career and technical education opportunities, such as apprenticeships and building skilled trades. In the same subcommittee hearing, McMahon said reorienting TRIO to focus on workforce development was crucial to revitalizing the program. Program leaders like Gager say the decision strays from the program’s original college focus. “TRIO grants were never designed or intended to be just job training… It was always about accessing higher education in some form,” said Gager. “We build a better society, and we build better students and better people, by expanding their horizons beyond just getting a job.” l Kahani Malhotra is a contributor with the College Journalism Network, a collaboration between CalMatters and student journalists from across California.

“Migration”

‘More of the Moment’ William Pierson’s photographs at the Morris Graves Museum By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill, photos courtesy of William Pierson jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

illiam Pierson recalls his kindergarten teacher giving out brown slabs of rolled clay with which he and his classmates were to form and decorate candy dishes as Mother’s Day gifts. After looking around, he says he picked up a wooden block to form the clay around before trimming and painting the edge. He had, he says, “very particular feelings about it” being done, despite the

teacher’s insistence that it needed more decoration. He still has it and still loves it, he boasts with a full laugh. “I never had to look outside of myself for confirmation of what’s good.” Clay was not to be Pierson’s medium, however, and his show Transcendence opening Sept. 5 at the Morris Graves Museum of Art’s William Thonson Gallery marks 50 years of work in photography or, as he puts it, as “an artist who uses a

camera.” The show is not a retrospective of his development or changing aesthetics over time. The images are indicative of where he is now, a period he describes as his freest and most exciting, though he hasn’t turned against his older work anymore than he has abandoned that first candy dish. In fact, he’s even found ways to incorporate elements of earlier images that seemed to have been waiting Continued on next page » northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, Sept. 3, 2026 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL 7

for their missing counterparts. Pierson says he was never pressured to enter the family business at Pierson’s Building Center, though he cleaned the bathroom and swept floors for gas money as a teenager. So, he explored, taking classes at College of the Redwoods, including beginning photography with Roger Cinnamon in 1972. Before that, Pierson had taken photos with a point-and-shoot for his high school newspaper and yearbook, trying to snap something from the sidelines before a football player barreled into him. Cinnamon’s instruction showed him the possibility of making art with the camera. “I developed my first roll of film, took part in my first critique, showed my first photo as art and not a snapshot from vacation,” he recalls. Since

then, “It’s been the anchor of my life.” In the 1980s, when Pierson was in his 30s, he took on the garden shop at the building center, transforming it into a small oasis with a koi pond. “An artist can go wild there,” he says, with all the creative aspects and aesthetic decisions. “I’ve always endeavored to make myself as dispensable as possible,” says Pierson, chortling a bit, and so he hired a team that included Morgan Randall, who became general manager for more than 35 years before his recent retirement. “It is because of him and his remarkable abilities that allowed me to be ‘dispensable,’” says Pierson, who eventually took over ownership of the entire building center. “I was able to focus on my artwork and other pursuits.”

(707) 445-2947 2332 2nd St. Eureka “It is a daily companion, a source of inspiration, interest,” says Pierson, “it involves you in the world in a more intimate way because your senses are … perceiving more because you care more about everything because in the end it comes out in your work.” In the 1980s, he says, he was working with black and white 10-by-10-inch silver prints, looking for “what else was there beyond what was apparent.” He used multiple exposures with different timing, lighting, shutter speeds, “instead of thinking that reality was 1/30 of a second,” experimenting with layering several variations, some crisp, others ethereal. “How much more could I put into this single image?” he asked himself. “The goal is to produce work that resonates

with your soul. And your soul knows,” he says, noting that this has remained the same for him over the decades. “It has nothing to do with your ego or a good review — it’s just, oh, your soul.” But the restrictions of silver prints began to chafe. Pierson wanted to work with color, to work large. In 2006, he turned to digital photography. “You literally can do anything. There’s no restriction. Well, if I thought about it long enough, there’s probably some restriction,” he says chuckling. It was a steep learning curve for him both in terms of the photography and the printing, but he says the payoff has been worth it. Before he died, Pierson’s friend and fellow photographer Sook Choo Kim told him he wasn’t going out and making new

images of late. Kim, a world traveler and digital photographer, was instead mining old images he’d taken and doing more with them. The notion was inspiring for Pierson. Now, Pierson says, instead of trying to show more than what is apparent, “I’m trying to show everything,” even across time and space. “On Aug. 4 of 2024, this idea came to me,” he says. He looked back at his 2008 photo he took of a crow from Bear Basin Lookout National Forest, one he’d forgotten. He also had 7- and 8-hour exposures of the North Star with the other stars in the sky rotating around it — those never resonated for him the way he’d hoped. “The final thing that made them work wasn’t Continued on page 11 »

there,” he realized, but in a couple hours of work, the images of the bird and the stars came together and gave him what he was looking for, yielding, “Raven Returning from the North Star.” “I was just knocked out,” says Pierson. “I had given myself permission to do things I’d never done before,” combining elements from different places and times. He’d been taught, he says, “the sun rose and set on Ansel Adams” and a photographer should “print the whole image no matter what.” But now he felt released to run loose. “The ideas came so fast I kept a diary of them on my phone,” he says, sometimes noting them in the middle of the night. Inspiration started coming from all directions and he saw it as the universe helping him along. “I had no idea at the beginning what I was going to have at the end and that was so exhilarating.” There are birds aplenty in Transcendence, sometimes a time-lapse tracking as in “The Path of Pure Consciousness,” sometimes only a hyper-detailed wing dipping into view as in “Migration.” Juxtaposition and blending bring forth as much of the ethereal as the almost comically grim (see “Egret in Physical Space and Mystical Time” and “Vulture Wake at Night”). But Pierson is clearly enjoying the freedom of his medium and fruits of his back catalog. After all, he says, “There isn’t a

ocal artist, musician and animator Violet Crabtree has been involved in the local underground scene since she moved to Humboldt County 20 years ago. She first caught my attention with her band The Comix Trip, which usually features Crabtree narrating a story featuring her own comics — with the aid of an overhead projector — while her bandmates provide the musical score and Foley effects. The result is always a treat and showcases her unique, handcrafted approach to multimedia storytelling, which stands out in an era defined by an increasing excess of digital and A.I.-generated animation. Wildfur, her first feature-length animated film, is premiering at the Eureka Theater on Sunday (details below). It is a musical production full of songs by local artists like Daniel Nickerson, Meg Baird and Hudson Glover, as well as work by prominent New York rock cartoonist Jeffrey Lewis, among many others. I interviewed Crabtree via email to get a sense of what to expect.

NCJ: Tell me about yourself and your background as an artist and animator. How long have you been doing this work and what are some of your previous projects? Crabtree: I’ve been doing stop motion animation for about 10 years. My background is in illustration, clothing design, sculpture, painting and storytelling. I’ve been doodling my whole life, but fashion design was my first passion around the age of 12. The first films I made were with a group of friends. It was their idea to make the films based on the comic book stories I was performing with The Comix Trip back in 2012. We filmed intensively every weekend the first half of 2013, including a long late-night stop-motion session with Sierra Martin, a local artist and friend. He was inspired to animate the death of my character Jonesy from [my early short] The Fruit of Jonesy. I helped make Jonesy’s clothes and torch the fallen puppet to make it appear to decay (stop-motion style) on the forest floor. The Fruit of Jonesy premiered at the Minor Theatre’s grand re-opening in 2016 with other local shorts. Our group lost momentum and a few

important shots were left unfinished. I was determined to get all five of these short films out, I “filled-in” these missing sequences with some very crude claymation. It was so satisfying. I finished the films and showed them in November of 2016 at the Miniplex. After that, I convinced [local rock trio] The Monster Women to let me make a claymation music video for them. It was called ‘“Lost at Sea.” Again, very crude, but I still like it. After that, I made a claymation music video for Lyndsey Battle called “Bigfoot He’s People.” I began to feel very ambitious and contacted a bunch of bands outside the area. Next was a video called “Alien” for Mommy Long Legs, a Seattle band. I did a bunch of different animated projects in 2018, and finally landed my dream job in 2019, making a claymation music video for the Seattle band Tacocat called “Crystal Ball.” They had just signed to Subpop Records, which was so exciting to me. NCJ: What was the genesis of Wildfur? How long have you been working on it and what is the story about? Crabtree: With the help of the Sanctuary, I got a community grant from Humboldt Area Foundation to start making a feature film based on an illustrated story of mine called “Finnea Wildfur.” The story came from my frustration about the election results of 2016 and feeling powerless. I wanted to create something that voiced my anger but channeled it into a cute story for kids. I can’t help it. I make cute stuff when I’m mad. I get mad, make cute stuff that makes me laugh, and then I feel a little better. Finnea Wildfur is a Sasquatch who has discovered that Bill Ding, a villain with a house for a head, is stealing natural resources from the forest and enslaving animals to work in his factory. He’s selling condos in the clouds and everyone who lives there is hooked on these new furry phones that have replaced their pets. They are very disconnected from reality and nature. Finnea and a team of friends work together to try to restore balance. The film is very much an anti-capitalist movie. It’s not subtle at all. I was inspired by the eco-feminist movement, Judi Bari and

other forest defenders. It’s about taking down the patriarchy and finding healthier ways to live. Respecting plants and animals. I hope this will resonate with kids, since us adults are so indoctrinated into the toxic consumer way of life. NCJ: Walk us through the technical side of Wildfur. How was it made and who were some of the actors in the film? Crabtree: Wildfur is a stop-motion hybrid, which means it also has live action. It’s a many-layered thing. I used every kind of animation I could think of. Mostly 3D, but also a little hand drawn 2-D and lots of paper cut-out animation. I used a lot of claymation, including flat claymation. I think the only digital animation is some lightning bolts. Almost all the live stuff was filmed in front of a green screen so that the actors could be plunked into my miniature sets in post-production. The miniature sets usually take weeks or months to build. I make them out of cardboard, hot glue, paint, paper-mache and fabric. Wildfur is full of old lace. Almost all the bushes and small trees are painted lace. It kinda looks like your great-grandmother crocheted this film. Most of Wildfur was animated in my tiny studio, adjacent to my house. I call it the Art Shack. I was lucky enough to have access to several large workspaces in the last six years. The first was Outer Space Arcata’s “new” spot on the plaza in June of 2021. They weren’t having in-person shows yet, so I was able to spread out in the spot that is now the stage area. I made a huge forest set, with Finnea’s unique circle-of-albino-redwood-trees home.

I spent this last winter working in my friend’s garage space in the Arcata Bottoms, making another huge set of an alleyway behind some shops. I filmed almost all the live action stuff at the Sanctuary in 2022, during a two-month artist residency. I filmed my friends, who happen to be great non-actors, mostly. Bill Ding is played by my old friend and Comix Trip bandmate Andrew Anderson. He is larger than life, a hilarious bad guy.

NCJ: What does the future hold, ideally, for Wildfur and for you as an artist? Crabtree: I’m hoping to get Wildfur into some film festivals and known outside of the Redwood Curtain. Film festivals cost money, so I have a GoFundMe to help make this happen. We’ll have a QR code at the event if people feel inspired to donate a little after the showing. I’d like a streaming company to pick up the film. Only time will tell. After this event, I’m going to finish a comic book/novel I started last year and make a couple of music videos. Do some Comix Trip shows, including one Monday, Oct. 12, at Moss Oak with Blub, Tiffany and Sun Toy. I’ll do some puppet shows, make some birthday presents and do a bunch of short-term projects.

SETLIST

The Summer Wind By Collin Yeo

setlist@northcoastjournal.com

e have certainly entered the part of the summer where our nostalgia for the bright and lazy days of late June is colored by the scent of wood smoke and over-ripened fruit. The kind of sensation that curls over our nostrils and into our brains like the tendrils of cigarette vapors from Rick Blaine’s ashtray in Casablanca while Sam plays “As Time Goes By” on the piano at the request of a longago lover from not that long ago, but still unreachable by the rules of time and the many flaws of mankind (yes, “mankind” for the tragedies of life ultimately caused by my gender). It’s not all bad, though. September is a wonderful month around here, a time of warmth and compromise with the sun. A time of longer nights that carry that warmth over past the sunset, along with an occasional bit of wet to make our night rides more exciting. This is a harvest time, not just in the agricultural sense, but in a fashion that causes us to cull the best parts of our recent memories to feed the gentle decay of the near future. The world is indeed beautiful in September, more so because we are reminded life isn’t all sun and leisure, but something more poignant. A beautiful day without a sunset is a terrible, incomplete curse, a slur on the act of living. A summer without a September easing us into the grandeur of autumn is similarly incomplete.

effort of showing up, which you can probably do for both depending on your energy levels. First up at 5:30 p.m., the Arcata Friday Night Market is ditching the pyrotechnics for some real fire in the form of a scorching set by local cumbia masters Makenu. Hearing these folks churn out the beat under the late summer sky sounds like a treat worthy of Apollo, so don’t sleep on it as the sun edges out into the wet western part of the horizon. Later on at 8 p.m. at the Shanty, Ukesperience is bringing its ukulele-fueled jam machine back from the dead for two sets that are bound to bring some good vibrations to the Swan Room. I have watched older videos of the long-dormant group doing its thing, and I was utterly charmed by the inclusion of a ukulele-bass guitar hybrid in the line-up. Sensational.

Saturday This really is a great weekend for electrifying acoustic music played absurdly well, as Humbrews is hosting the full line-up of Absynth Quintet at 9 p.m. tonight. Those in the know already know how good this one is going to get, but for the uninitiated, imagine a jamming paradise just over the evening clouds of a Django Reinhardt moon. Perfection for a mere $10.

Sunday

Tristan Norton is a local guitarist, and the Tristan Norton 3 is a power trio built around a funk and trippy jazz fusion sound in a manner similar to the way vines curl up and around mighty redwoods or ivy covers an old brick house. A solid foundation with some vibrant and curly coverings. You can check it out for yourself at 7:30 p.m. at the Kaptain’s Quarters for the unbeatable price of free-ninety-free.

For those of you looking for a full multi-media experience, please refer to my Art Scene piece about the Wildfur film premiere at the Eureka Theater, with showings at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. If, however, you happen to be stuck in Arcata for some reason, please consider enjoying a tribute to the recently late Dolly Parton at the Arcata Playhouse, with music performed by Harmonic Howl, Ponies of Harmony and others, starting at 3 p.m. There is a suggested donation of $25 for what is certain to be a fine goodbye from some of our finest local music makers.

have called home since I was a boy. This year’s event is unique in one way: Some proceeds from the fun will go to Centro del Pueblo, which seems just and right. When we reflect on the work we do, we should always consider how it improves not only our own lives, but the community, and the lives of those who we may commit the sin of considering strangers if we forget about the unity of our shared humanity, and the obligation to preserve each other’s dignity that comes with the recognition of that connection. The fun kicks off at noon with lots of food and music by many artists, including The Latin Peppers and The Mighty Dynamites. If you feel like just hearing some music and moving yourself around a bit, that part is as free as it ever was.

Tuesday It’s yet another opportunity to remind you, dear reader, as well as myself, to roll through the Basement sometime after 7

p.m. to hear some of the best jazz improvisers in our area gather under the moniker Strange Meeting and play something really special. There is a suggested donation of $5, which is an absolute steal of a deal.

Wednesday I don’t have any musical recommendations tonight, but if you are in the mood to see some vintage kaiju action on the big screen, come to the Arcata Theatre Lounge between 6 and 7 p.m. for a showing of 1964’s Mothra vs Godzilla. Same drill as before: Pay $6 to get in, or $10 to get in and leave with a poster of the showdown. And just in case you have forgotten or were unaware, there are some weird tiny twins in this one who make the sisters in The Shining look almost boring by comparison. l Collin Yeo (he/him) is ready to go over the garden wall and into the forest of fallen leaves and frost.

SCREENS

Idiots and Buddy By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com

IDIOTS. The promise of an R-rated, “gross-out” comedy, especially one anointed for theatrical release, is especially tempting (if equally risky) in an era of corporate trepidation and hobbled creativity. What was once a proven, often overly relied-on subgenre has become risky, a niche proposition unlikely to yield the sort of box-office windfall upon which studios have come to rely. The mild transgression offered by such movies having become routine, passé or — in a shocking turn toward the provincial — even distasteful to modern, younger audiences, has recast the once-subversive as unhip and old-fashioned. This may be why I feel inexorably drawn to it. In the case of Idiots, at least, there is a certain element of skewed academia to the appeal. Multi-hyphenate director Macon Blair (The Toxic Avenger, 2025) has been plumbing the depths of the darkness in action, comedy and drama for a couple of decades now, often in collaboration with Jeremy Saulnier (Blue Ruin, 2013; Rebel Ridge, 2024), and is clearly a fan, as well as a practitioner, of the mid-late 20th century programmers that were so influential to so many of us. His work is fun (and seemingly made for fun, if not profit and glory) but tempered with a comfortingly familiar strain of misanthropy and crassness. He elevates the underdog, but not without illuminating their frequently challenging, off-putting shortcomings. This is very much the space inhabited by his latest, a road comedy about a couple of sometimes well-meaning losers, thrown together by circumstance and avarice to transport a possibly psychotic rich kid to rehab. Of the two, Davis (O’Shea Jackson Jr.) would be the ostensible moral center: a kindly, if woefully inept, man of faith who truly wants to do the right thing, despite an inability to figure out what that actually means. His partner Mark (Dave Franco), on the other hand, is essentially a screwup with no prospects, few demonstrable skills and only the most ephemeral shot at redemption. Which is all well and good, with the unlikely (if well-worn) pairing of opposites providing ample opportunity for roadside blow-ups and druggy pratfalls. But the scenario itself, couched in a sort of humanistic cynicism that fully serves neither the comic

nor the tragic, never allows the relationship at its center to grow beyond the chummily abrasive. A road comedy, particularly one that sets out to plumb some of the less pleasant aspects of humanity, needs propulsion: jokes or horrors or both, at regular intervals. Without such frequent punctuation, there must be enough substance to the characters and their relationships to sustain our interest. Despite overtures in that direction, Idiots unfortunately never fully achieves an effective balance, leaving us, by the end, with a sort of narrative ambiguity that is neither satisfying nor troubling enough to resonate beyond its runtime. R. 98M. BUDDY. In yet another undeniable demarcation of my advancing years and irrelevance, the matinee crowd for this was more robust than expected, with a median age at least a couple of decades below mine. Which is heartening, in its way: Kids are still going to the movies. And they are apparently surprised and titillated by things I wouldn’t have guessed at. Buddy, written by Caspar Kelly and Jamie King, directed by Kelly, sets itself inside the world of a late-’90s kid’s show about the titular magical unicorn before eventually expanding its scope and aspect-ratio to include the “real” world of grown-ups and trans-dimensional horror. Opening with (maybe too frequently repeated) episodes of the show, the movie gradually reveals, primarily through the eyes of young Freddy (Delaney Quinn), that Buddy may not be so friendly after all. After some increasingly troubling incidents within the reality of the show, a group of kids attempt to break out, at which point we are relocated to a world where Grace (Cristin Milioti) is haunted by an absence she cannot define and, before long, ensnared in Buddy’s kandy-kolored nightmare. For my taste, Buddy is a little allover-the-shop. The nostalgia of a creepy children’s show is lost on me (while clearly not on the audience I shared the experience with), while the broadened world of violence and supernatural malfeasance is neither fully explained nor terrifying enough to be entirely compelling. Still, I enjoyed the combination of rough-hewn and elevated craft deployed here, and a movie that

allows child actors to confront decidedly un-childish things is rare enough to be noteworthy, by that standard alone. While I wished (as ever) for something genuinely troubling, it was immediately evident that the tone of this piece was spot-on for the target audience with which I was surrounded. Their enthusiasm was at least a little contagious, softening my initial negative reaction, allowing me to (mostly) enjoy Buddy for what it is, rather than what I thought it should be. R. 95M.

Featuring 300 feet of road frontage, excellent visibility, and dual residential/commercial zoning, this property offers a rare live/work opportunity.
