studio series graphic 2324

By Emma Watkins

Directed by Jenny Lavery

Four trees in the north Maine woods communicate through an underground network of roots and fungi. Four women, each struggling to come into her own in a nearby rural logging town, pass each other gifts by way of the town’s one-car postal service. By blurring the boundary between human and tree, elizabeth is going into the ground contemplates the communities of our forests, weaving a tale of love, resilience and old growth.
