"Tale of the Great Oak" recounts local history from the point of view of a 400 year-old tree that overlooks the hills of Scandiano in Northern Italy.

We witness the tree's memories from the Renaissance to the present day -- including depictions of agricultural traditions, the impact of war, and the contemporary ecological crisis -- as she tries to make sense of the human race.

In addition to the songs accompanying the action, the soundtrack features the tree’s own musical voice thanks to a recording of her electromagnetic frequencies, further conveying a non-anthropocentric perspective in an authentic manner.

Director Statement:

This 15-minute short film was shot with a drone in one continuous take, with over fifty local collaborators participating as actors, musicians, singers, and technicians.

By focusing on the subjectivity of a tree, the film acts as a hymn to Nature, celebrates the local landscape, and encourages an ecological awareness.

Filmed during the summer of 2020, we felt the overwhelming importance of community and working together all the more.

An John Bradley films present “One Stunning Day”, the tale of a recently heartbroken man searching for a silver bullet solution to self-fulfillment.

Following a few months of sobriety, I found myself stuck in a place of repetition and boredom. To escape I learned to find the good in the bad. This movie is a testament to the tough task of finding oneself, through the trials of life.

Director Statement

This was an extremely rewarding project to put together. From getting to direct two incredibly talented actors, to getting to work with some of my most frequent collaborators, this honestly felt like a breeze! I hope you find it to be entertaining and that maybe it reminds you that nothing is more important than friendship.

Director Statement

I am a product of the 80's, so I think naturally, I would love to make things that remind me of my youth. Supernatural Thrillers like Stories is part of that. I also really love the band Genesis. I wrote the original short story when I was 12 years old, in 1985, listening to Genesis on the ol' boom box and it stayed in my brain for 40 years. Each scene in this passion project short film and the eventual feature, is inspired by one of their songs.

I'm trying to make something where the audience can sit back and turn their brain off for a while and just be entertained. There are enough problems going on in the world right now that there's no need to be reminded of them when you get home from work and all you want to do is watch a movie. So, just for a little while, escaping into a good story can be quite therapeutic.
