Newlyweds Angela and Benny Blyth, city-dwellers unfamiliar with the wilderness, venture into the eerie Flummox Forest for a camping trip.

As they struggle to set up camp they encounter two strange rangers, Gethin and Fluellen, whose odd behaviour raises Benny's suspicions. Angela becomes entranced by an ancient oak tree, disappearing shortly after.

Benny, desperate to find his wife, is met with cryptic and unnerving responses from the rangers, who may be tied to her vanishing. As Benny's paranoia grows, the forest seems to come alive, and the lines between reality and folklore blur, leading him to confront the sinister forces lurking within.

So far, we have been able to secure and financially cover our filming location and a number of our crew, as well as re-partnering with ARRI & MBS Lighting sponsoring the project with a wide range of industry standard equipment and guidance.

We have an outstanding script in hand, developed over months of obsession and perfectionism by Ed Scott & Lawrence Whelan, the follow up to their previous award winning collaboration "Glasshouses" is now ready on our desk.

With your help and support, we can cover the remaining budgetary costs and bring this project into production!

While we've secured many crucial elements for the production there are a few essential components that we are still to cover. 

This projects presents dynamics that cannot be underestimated during our initial pre production phases, in turn creating a greater cost to quality balance that we would look to use the financial aid towards.

As a project we have strong creative character and casting aims we wish to fu-fill to the highest ability feasible, health and safety elements in the story that must be thoroughly examined and rehearsed, as-well as foreshadowed post production goals and even film festival circuits and routes in plan, to name just a few elements in play!
