This is a landscape and population that is changing rapidly as small scale agriculture is disappearing and the generation who inhabited a pre-mechanised world is dying out.

This came about in a simple way - Neil and I were discussing how much we liked the short film genre. Neil sent me this script and asked if I wanted to shoot it. I said yes. I was in NY on other business but decided to shoot it at the Mercer Hotel. A friend put me in touch with two amazing actors - Adam Driver and Joanne Tuck. We shot in a couple of hours on a Saturday Night, just the 3 of us in a dark room (all shot on NightVision).
