THE CLOSER YOU GET TO CANADA
Dir: John Bolton, 2010, 11 min | Cast: Gordon Tootoosis
In a dystopian future, seniors are hunted like prey. Two old friends, residents of the Treehill Seniors Game Preserve in the US, hatch a plan to escape to Canada. As hunting season begins, they finally get their chance. Bus it the grass always greener on the other side?
