Title: Your Scarecrow
Storyline: This poignant short film follows Wallace, a man who has always believed he would make a great scarecrow but never followed that thought through.
Feeling the weight of 'now or never,' he decides to finally pursue his dream, despite being nervous and doubtful. His journey brings him into conflict and connection with family members, friends, and others in his community, each with their own struggles, doubts, and hopes.
Through heartfelt and sometimes humorous interactions, Wallace discovers what it truly means to commit to a dream, and how adversity, misunderstanding, and acceptance play a part in that journey.
Family, friends, and strangers all form part of a story that blends everyday struggles with a slightly magical, fairy tale quality.
This is an excellent opportunity to be part of a touching and modern fairy tale film exploring themes of identity, courage, and resilience. Actors will have the chance to portray layered characters in a heartfelt story
