A Dying Tree

The journey of a boy accepting that his lover is gone

A short film by Bryce Hodgson.

In this non-dialogue tale, taking place along the coast of Vietnam, a mermaid is rescued from the fish market by a fisherman. As the hero carries her back to the ocean, they are joined by two jolly seahorses. Upon her wake at the beach, the mermaid performs a sensual dance. But her joy is cut short: the waves have other plans.

Flashing lights explode across an apartment as images of a woman in bed flicker in and out.

The film contains the despair of an artist’s desire for creation on ruthless censorship, rebel, and anxiety in the mid-70s when it was politically and socially depressed.

An introverted girl struggles to form connections through a strange social media site.
