If the idea of watching a film largely comprised of static compositions of wooden pieces sharing their inner anxieties through a voiceover narration doesn’t strike you as something to get excited about, you’re obviously yet to hit play on Lara Gallagher and Andrew Ellmaker’s enthralling tri-chapter short Hollerings: 3 Stories in Wood, which eloquently speaks to the malaise of the human condition far better than many a live action short could.

About the Author / MarBelle

MarBelle has a strange compulsion to watch as many films as he can get his hands on and find jobs that give him a legitimate excuse to drill filmmakers about their work. Directors Notes is the multi-decade incarnation of this disorder and remains so much cheaper than film school.
