Woodpecker is a 2008 comedy film directed by Alex Karpovsky and starring Jon Hyrns.[1] The film follows Hyrns and his cohort, Wesley Yang, as they obsessively search the Arkansas bayou for proof that ivory-billed woodpecker is in fact not extinct.
Woodpecker is filmed in a docufiction style,[2] set in the small Arkansas town of Brinkley. It incorporates faux-interviews[3] with Brinkley residents recounting their experiences with the mysterious bird.
Hyrns becomes increasingly erratic and comic in his attempts to locate the animal.
