LAMBING SEASON

SHORT FILM | 17 mins | 2016

Joe Proctor, a son and farmhand, discovers he is the potential victim of a child kidnapping and that his parents may not be who they seem. Taut and unnerving; Lambing Season is about a son who comes to understand that everything he has ever known is a lie and all he has gained from the truth is fear.

"A patient, but anxious story, ‘Lambing Season’ hooks you in with its intriguing premise and then proceeds to keep you on the edge-of-your-seat as we delve deeper and deeper into the secrets of its story."
