Watch This: Treevenge
Treevenge is probably the best short film I've seen on the film festival circuit this past year. The follow up short film from Yer Dead Productions Inc, the creative team that produced & directed last years award winning, and notorious Grindhouse trailer, Hobo with a Shotgun. Here is the official plot synopsis:
Treevenge details the experiences and horrifying reality of the lives of Christmas trees. Clearly, for trees, Christmas isn't the exciting "peace on earth" that is experienced by most. After being hacked down, and shipped away from their homes, they quickly become strung up, screwed into an upright position for all to see, exposed in a humiliation of garish decorations. But this Christmas will be different, this Christmas the trees have had enough, this Christmas the trees will fight back. Treevenge could be a short film about the end of days for Christmas trees, or perhaps, the end of humanity?
