An intense dramatic short about two young fishermen - best friends - who come to impassable conflict, alone, aboard a twenty-foot lobster boat, miles out to sea. Traps was shot on a shoestring on Monhegan Island, Maine - famed retreat and obsession of some of America's greatest painters, including Rockwell Kent and N.C., Andrew, and James Wyeth. It offers a painterly look at the arresting, often unforgiving beauty of life in one of New England's last real fishing villages.
