A Midwinter Night's Dream (2021)
About:
Every year on Midwinter’s Eve the Sunstone must be returned to the Yew Tree Goddess or the darkness will last forever. However young Morrigan doesn't want to do it. But her mother and the Vicar insist. A magical one-shot short film. This was a winner with the ARRI/Directors UK inaugural Trinity Competition, and was all shot in one take. No Cuts, no edits and no cheats!
