Short Film: 100,000 Acres of Pine (2020)

Synopsis

Someone gets into a truck and puts a cassette tape in the player. A forest ranger narrates what happened to him as we progress through the story.

Ranger Megan talks about her recently deceased brother, who died mysteriously in the forest. She goes out there to investigate what happened to him.

Then she finds out…

Commentary

It’s a stop-motion animation, and it looks really good. The narration from the dead brother’s cassette and the location itself gives it a sort of “Twin Peaks” vibe, which was very effective.

It was great!
