The Journey of Truesong (2003)

Student film from 2003. A fantasy piece shot on 16mm black and white film, The Journey of Truesong tells the story of a young man who travels to hell and heaven in search of a way to revive his lost lover.

Written and directed by Garrett Gilchrist, photographed and edited by Tim Carras (Bonus Light Productions).

"He died for love - then found courage to live."
