Writer/Director and inaugural Refocus Film Festival guest, Jason Pitts (Voorhees: Night of the Beast) returns to FilmScene to present his new tale of horror and survival.
In the eerie depths of The Forest Through the Trees, audiences are plunged into a world where love and sacrifice blur the lines between life and death. The film follows Chloe and her stepfather Ken as they grapple with the haunting disappearance of Kathy, Chloe’s mother and Ken’s wife. A year of anguish passes until, aided by Chloe’s friend Ava, they embark on a desperate quest fueled by a cryptic clue that unravels a sinister secret - a dangerous demonic cult lurking in the shadows.
At its core, The Forest Through the Trees delves into the profound theme of sacrifice. What lengths will one go to for the person they love? Will they risk their very life, or perhaps even their soul? This existential question looms large as Chloe, Ken, and Ava confront terrifying adversaries in their quest to unravel the mystery and find Kathy.
