There's something inherently funny about senior citizens being held in a game reserve like wild animals. There just is. And here to take full advantage of that fact is John Bolton with his short film The Closer You Get To Canada. Here's how Tiff describes it:
Adapted from Thomas King's celebrated, darkly comic story, two old friends trapped in a dystopic American seniors' game preserve try to escape to Canada. As hunting season begins, they get their chance. But is the grass always greener on the other side? A striking film that plays with themes of patriotism, state security and personal liberties.
As an interesting side note here, the cinematography on Bolton's latest was handled by acclaimed Canadian director Carl Bessai. Check out a clip below.
