The Arborist and The Bad Seed

The Arborist and The Bad Seed

This very short film was our entry into the 2007 48-Hour Film Festival in Portland, Maine. We were assigned the following:
Protagonist and profession: Burt Didier, Arborist
Dialogue: "This has gone on long enough."
Genre: Western

The film tells the story of a internecine struggle between Burt and his brother Frank, a psychopath. The long-absent Frank announces his arrival by felling a tree. Things escalate from there.

My brother Zachary did all of the acting. We shot in various locations around Portland and Freeport.
