Director Statement

The Woman in the Woods uses classical western genre imagery and turns it upside down, as our female protagonist, Grace, searches the woods to find a way back to her lost love, Anna. While the style and cinematography may remind you of a 1950's cowboy movie, the unique portrayal of time and womanhood in The Woman in the Woods will prove that not all great stories about the Wild West are from the past. I hope you enjoy my reflexive take on a classic American genre.
