Lauren Teebor
United States, 2025, 19 min.

In English.

Every 4th of July, the town of Oatman, AZ sees its population of 100 double, as people from all over brave the searing heat to compete in the annual egg frying contest. The locals, including the town’s “Burro B**ch,” a gunslinger in the daily duel, and the caretaker of Walter, Oatman’s donkey Mayor, watch as competitors, dressed in their star-spangled best, use their ingenuity to fry an egg in the sun. When the frying is done, win or lose, the community celebrates the holiday, the value of tradition, and the chance To Live Another Day, To Fry Another Egg.
