Goat Island ended with final performances of The Lastmaker at Swain Hall, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, February 2009. As their final project they created a film in Collaboration Lucy Cash, based on "The Lastmaker", publicated under the title "A Last, A Quartet a collection of films",[2] which also contain previous films made by Goat Island.
