2025 Creative Artist Winner

A research assistant returns from a voyage into the forest and finds that he and his companion need variety in their lives. They witness some abnormal events, and what they do find out is both vague and unsettling. The arrival of a third party presenting uncomfortable moral questions throws them off. They must then decide; what do they value? What is right and wrong, and does it really matter during a nuclear apocalypse? 

A Studio Series production.
