When a Man Falls in the Forest

This powerful drama, starring Sharon Stone, Timothy Hutton, Dylan Baker, and Pruitt Taylor Vince, embraces the story of four unlikely heroes, each consumed by a personal struggle to make sense of their lives, which transforms them in ways they never imagined.

Bill (Dylan Baker) has never been able to safely interact with the world around him; he keeps his distance and prefers to exist in a lackluster state of self-imposed exile. In his fantasy world, however, his dreams offer a different sense of self, who embraces life, conquers his demons, and whose encounters with others are powerful and sensual. Within this inner sanctuary are the delights of profound connection unknown to him in his daily sterile existence.

Karen (Sharon Stone) finds salvation in thrills that she knows are forbidden: acts that are empowering and taboo.
Travis (Pruitt Taylor Vince), frozen in a moment in time, reaches out to others, but not within as he bears guilt for a terrible tragedy from his past, one which has scarred him for life.

Gary (Timothy Hutton), seemingly lost in a search for connection, curiously pursues his dream to rekindle the passion of life. He strives to bridge the gaps, to find what is lost, and in one defining moment makes a startling decision, which irrevocably transforms him and everyone else around him.

WHEN A MAN FALLS IN THE FOREST is a deeply moving apologue about the passions that drive us, the disappointments that challenge us, and is a timely tribute to those whose sacrifice reinvigorates our lives and permits us to touch the people that matter most to us.

A surreal existential drama, When a Man Falls in the Forest is about three dysfunctional characters, who have nothing to look forward to and only dream of regaining control over their lives. Bill's, Gary's and Karen's quest for a purpose is never realized as their mind-boggling everyday experiences are too insignificant.
