        Retreat

        A woman risks the safety of her secret commune by helping a stranger.

        Drama 2013 22 mins Not rated

        AD

        Overview

        An injured man limps through the woods, pursued by members of the commune he has stolen from. Risking her own safety, a woman from the community tries to help him but plays innocent when he is captured and held hostage by her leader. The man poses both a physical and existential threat to their way of life as society crumbles beyond their boundaries.

        Ted Evan's atmospheric short film responds perfectly to its low-budget restrictions, powered by the strength of its ideas and the quality of its performances. As with his second short The End, Evans is interested in the notion of Deaf β€˜survival’, the visibility of the Deaf community and its relationship to broader society.
