The Deeper You Dig

Following a car accident, the boundary between life and death blurs for a mother, her daughter, and a stranger. This family-centric film is the brainchild of John Adams, Toby Poser, and their daughter, Zelda, who not only wrote, directed, and produced it but also took on roles in front of the camera, handled the cinematography, and composed the music. The film is a remarkable example of ingenuity, with the family leveraging their Catskill Mountains surroundings to craft a distinctively chilly atmosphere. The barren forest setting evokes a dreamlike quality, and as the film ventures into avant-garde territory, its blue-hued visuals immerse the audience in a subconscious experience.
