A home worth wanting.
At Hawthorne, Joe finds good food, useful work, and people he wants to stay with. The film begins with the pleasure of belonging. The danger grows from the relationships that make the ranch feel like home.
The visual development draws on the Pacific Northwest, the changing seasons, practical light, and the physical routines of ranch life. Labor, meals, weather, and the distance between bodies carry the drama.
A complete screenplay and an extensive director’s visual production Bible support the project’s development. Selected materials are available for producing and creative conversations.
