Before they cut down our tree

By J to K Productions | September 2023

Sam and Cal both have their story about what happened on prom night ten years ago. What they don’t have is the others. Now, Cal returns home to take care of her mother’s funeral and in doing so, encounters Sam at their childhood tree. Told through interwoven scenes from the past and present, this starts their journey of confronting past secrets, accepting childhood mistakes, and allowing oneself to grieve and forgive. But all of this must happen before they cut down the tree.
