Matt has been selected onto the Digital Shorts Scheme by Screen Yorkshire with the project INTO THE WOODS
Into the Woods is an unsettling story about miscommunication. Walking along a path through the woods, a family encounter a mysterious stranger who won’t let them pass. When they realise the man doesn’t speak English, the parents begin to view him as a threat, but their son thinks he is trying to communicate something deadly important. Will the parents rationalise their position, or will a blinkered perception of their world get the better of them?
