Deserted
beauty. love. madness. exile.
Directed by Ashley Avis
Produced by Alchemy Pictures, Winterstone Pictures
A psychologically fraught journey through Death Valley that uses stunning landscape and sibling dynamics to explore trauma, guilt, and the possibility of redemption.
When twenty-four-year-old Jae is released from prison for killing her mother, she returns to her childhood home in small-town Ridgecrest. The desire to go anywhere but there prompts her to agree to join her brother on a road trip out to Death Valley - which results in getting them hopelessly lost in the most stunning, but unforgiving topographical terrain on the planet.
