Trellis & Vine

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood as Trellis, elderly and dependent on her cane, tends her rose garden. Without warning a even "elderlier" neighbor grabs a pot of her roses and takes off running! An unconventional chase ensues with unexpected results for Trellis and her thieving neighbor, Vine.

Director Statement

Translating my theatre ideas, stories and whimsies into film has become the new journey. Like walking into an ancient forest and finding a beam of light full of fairies and phantoms in the darkness. Creating AT Lewis Films to work on passion projects like "Without Incident", a Civil Rights story from my own childhood, is empowering. Creating the team to get the interviews has been a wonderment. Collaboration with like minds is the key to success. With that philosophy, the storyboards in my brain are becoming realities.
