A MORNING LIGHT

A MORNING LIGHT
by Ian Clark
Country: USA
Year: 2015
Duration: 82'


Zach lives with his dog in a big house in the middle of the pristine wilderness of Oregon’s forests. He is a somewhat of a loner who enjoys taking long hikes in the woods. During one of his walks, Zach runs into an old friend of his, Ellyn, who joins him. As the days go by, Zach and Ellyn become increasingly convinced something weird is hiding in the forest, an unusual and disconcerting presence that manifests itself through light and sound phenomena that would be otherwise hard to explain. The invasion of two suspicious neighbors complicates the matter further. Is there really something weird going on or is it just their imagination?

Declaration

film director

 “As an artist, I’m interested in phenomenological subtlety, intersections of construct and verité, and the way in which technology, landscape, and beauty coalesce.”
