LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 12.15 19 WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO? For a brief minute in 2006, an octopus, a fsherman and a flmmaker stumbled onto the local evening news. The setting: Ohio River. The plot: A fsherman had hooked an octopus — dead, slimy, obviously foreign to these waters. How on Earth? Enter the flmmaker, a Louisville native and flm student at Boston University named Zachary Treitz. Then just 21 years old, Treitz fessed up to the Courier-Journal. It was his octopus — a flm prop. Nearly 10 years later, Treitz is nabbing headlines again, this time for his full-length indie flm Men Go to Battle, a story of the strained relationship between Kentucky brothers during the Civil War. It earned him the title of Best New Narrative Director at the Tribeca Film Festival. Now 30, Treitz lives in New York and is actively working on getting his movie "out into the world." (It should be released in Louisville in 2016.) Alas, in these parts that mollusk may forever overshadow anything elseTreitz does. "I think I could make 100 movies and still be known to anyone in Louisville as the person who made the octopus movie," he says. "I think the original title of it was going to be My Dinner With Entrèe. It was an absurd, pretty much meaningless short movie some friends and I were going to make with this patio furniture at my mom's house and a giant thawed octopus I bought in St. Matthews. I think the octopus cost something like $30, so that's where the budget went. We were going to eat it afterwards, but it was the middle of the summer and it started to smell. "We naively thought it wouldn't be a big deal to toss a sea creature into the water. Now I realize that wasn't an ecologically friendly idea, but at the time we fgured there were many worse things foating in that river. Hopefully no one from Fish and Wildlife goes after me this many years later." — Anne Marshall kyoms.com Dental Implants | Wisdom Teeth | Dental Extractions | Face & Jaw Surgery | Ofce Based General Anesthesia Kentuckiana Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates, PSC 2800 Cannons Lane | (502) 454-4885 Jewish Outpatient Care Building | 225 Abraham Flexner Way, Suite 302 | (502) 587-7874 Across from the Summit | 9488 Brownsboro Road | (502) 326-0606 Bullitt County | 209 High Point Court, Suite 100 | (502) 957-1250 kyoms.com - All doctors Board Certifed - Every Teenager Should Have A Wisdom Tooth Consultation Ensure your teen's health by scheduling an exam for a wisdom tooth evaluation. Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, normally erupt between the ages of 18 to 25. The average adult has 32 permanent teeth which includes four wisdom teeth. 90 percent of these people will have at least one impacted wisdom tooth. Patients with properly positioned third molars may not require any treatment. Misaligned wisdom teeth can cause a variety of problems in patients. Improperly positioned or impacted wisdom teeth can contribute to periodontal disease, chronic infammation, infection or misalignment of adjacent teeth. A less common, but more serious, outcome can occur when a cyst forms around an impacted wisdom tooth which can grow and cause destruction of the surrounding jaw or healthy teeth. An evaluation of wisdom teeth should be performed in the late teenage years. Imaging and a clinical exam performed by an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon will provide you with the information to make an informed decision about your child.
