LOW ROAD
Eleanor Wilson
LOW ROAD is a tense slow burning thriller about a woman consumed by the image of her husband’s affair. She takes to the country to clear her head and becomes entangled in a bigger injustice.
About Low Road: Kate takes to the country to clear her head. Amongst the solitude, she finds herself in a suffocating thought pattern, replaying the image of her husband’s affair. In an attempt to shake it off, her bad day gets worse when she sprains her knee on an evening run. Alone in the darkening landscape, she seeks help from the nearest strangers.
What the funds go toward: sound mix and color grading; allowing Wilson access to a more professional look and sound on the film.
