FELL IS A CAUTIONARY TALE ABOUT MAN'S POSSESSIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH NATURE, AS TOLD BY TWO CHILDREN OVER A CAMPFIRE.

Director’s Statement: Fell is based on a single paragraph within Joy Williams' novel "The Changeling”, but this small paragraph carries great weight. A woman discovers the pups her dog has birthed posses incomprehensible powers. In an attempt to control them she makes an irreversible decision. Only later, when it is too late, does she begin to understand the tenuous grasp she had over their magic.

My intention in creating Fell is to illustrate and speak to the prevailing illusion throughout the human consciousness that the natural world exists for our interests alone. Like the fables of the past, this cautionary tale aims to entertain while illuminating aspects of the self and society that require reflection.
