A wonderfully fantastical short by Los Angeles-based director and cinematographer Brandon Kapelow. Inspired by the music of Tispur aka Samwise Carlson, “Dewhorn” tells the story of a young boy who escapes into the woods to indulge his fantasies only to find himself longing to return home. Visually adapting the world of Carlson’s lyrics as well as tapping into his own personal nostalgia, Kapelow further explains:
“Dewhorn is a story about escapism, belonging and what happens when the world of your imagination is more appealing than what you encounter in your daily life. Being a Wyoming native who moved to LA to pursue filmmaking, that conflict for me exists between an urban lifestyle and a constant desire to get back into nature. We were very fortunate to tap into Sam’s creative community in Boise, Idaho which was extremely generous and supportive of this project.”
