This could make a great Labor Day weekend soft feature. The story of a man who chooses to be his own boss with a job that, while physically demanding, offers the consolation of working in a beautiful place.
Werner makes his living digging for blood worms, which can go for up to twenty cents a piece, at low tide along the beaches of Maine.
A good example of story telling without a narrator/reporter, I found Werner to be a likable guy and found myself genuinely interested in his work. This story also has that fantasy appeal element to it in that it almost made me wish I could have a life like that.
Lots of good sounds: the ocean, digging, walking through the water, Werner's Maine accent. Interesting use of music at the end.
