On Tuesday December 9th my latest film will premiere in an exquisite corpse program at Grand Illusion Cinema in Seattle. Tall Trees is based on photos from a family scrapbook recording the search for bandits after a bank robbery that took place in 1914 in Sedro-Wolley, Washington State. My grandfather (second from the left) was a member of a posse sent to capture the bandits who attempted to escape into Canada. Until recently all I knew about the robbery was the text written on nine photos documenting the event.
