Far from the Tree

Far from the Tree is a murderous short film about guilt, family, and fate. This film was shot entirely in Hillsdale, Michigan on weekends while Eric Nye attended Central Michigan University and Alex Pruitt attended Jackson Community College. So in theory, this is a 'student film'. This is obviously no Hollywood work of perfection, but in its defense, it must be stated that this was filmed with literally no budget nor plan. Most of the story and meaning was either produced through editing in post or on the spot on 'set'. With minimal equipment and no money for a budget, the locations, acting, and even props are all raw and real, or at least as real as they can be. It cannot possibly get any more 'indy' than this. Written and Directed by Eric Nye and Alex Pruitt Starring: Eric Nye, Jim Pruitt, Michael Baker, Richard Nye Music: Tyler Vogt and Eric Nye
