About the film
WATCH MOVIE
Nina is an aspiring actress from a small, rural town. Hired to give some authenticity to a reality show tailing Bigfoot near her home town, Nina is excited--as any actor would be--to work on a larger stage. But the forest has some secrets of its own, pushing Nina and her crew to confront larger realities in this haunting and ruminative feature.
For the forest is ancient, and possesses a power that overwhelms the young crew’s modern sensibilities. Things that were deemed fake seem real, what should be rudimentary becomes profound and confusing. Soon everyone is questioning not only the work they were hired to do, but the very nature of life itself. A beautiful and stirring work of imagination, Nina of the Woods, is at once a sci-fi thriller and philosophical cinematic experience.
