"Alex Karpovsky's follow-up to his clever debut feature 'The
Hole Story' is an even more accomplished and fully realized
work of bittersweet existential fiction. While many independent
filmmakers continue to break new ground in the world of the
fiction/non-fiction hybrid, Karpovsky is carving his own unique
path in his quest to find a truer, deeper state of cinematic
being. As in 'The Hole Story', 'Woodpecker' is equal parts television
news report, American history lesson, probing documentary, and
artificially constructed existential tragicomedy. More impressive
than that, it works on both a universal and personal level as
a statement of genuinely affecting edutainment."
