The Buried

In rural Alabama, on July 22, 2004, Scotty Joe Weaver was brutally murdered for being a homosexual by his closest friend. After interviewing family members, and meeting the murderer in an Alabama prison, filmmaker Jonathan Pope Evans created this experimental narrative about the brutal crime, a fractured and startling re-imagining of the violent murder. 'The Buried' is a spiritual and surreal journey, a short about masculinity, repression, and the root of violence against gay men.
