A Bit Scary Really...
Experimental Film
Docu-Comedy
7min40sec, 2005
A Bit Scary Really... is a video piece in which a couple – a man and a woman – are attempting to fell a tree. It’s not such a simple job for city-folks, it seems. It’s a big spruce and a first attempt. But they’re giving it all they've got. Will it fall, and if so, which way…?
