the gathering

short film

The Vietnam war is finally over, The Eagles “Best of My Love” is number one, and a carton of eggs will set you back 45 cents. It’s 1975, and Warren and Rose are having one of their typical weekend parties with friends. Georgia, their 6-year old daughter tries to gain their attention. Ignored, she wanders outside and finds an all-too-attentive stranger lurking at the edge of the garden.
