TRUNK

written & directed by Jack Villhard

Trunk is a story about the damage that emotional repression and malignant masculinity can cause to a family. On a fateful night in early 2011, one teenage boy comes face-to-face with his family's cycle of abuse and his unwillingness to escape it. 

 

With Trunk, we hope to embrace the feeling of "midwestern rot". If we refuse to grow and change, we are destined to decay. Our towns, traditions, and lives reflect this. Trunk aims to dissect the relationship between father and son, the politics of teenage friendships, and our apathy towards violence between young boys. 

 

Trunk serves as the proof-of-concept for a feature length version that we hope to fund and produce after our festival run.
