A fantastical and whimsical tale billed as “the coolest debut from Cannes”, this unique neo-fairytale, beautifully shot on 16mm, is an unforgettable concoction of Romanticism, British folklore, and the western genre that celebrates the power of imagination.

The feature debut of writer and director Weston Razooli, it stars Lio Tipton (Crazy Stupid Love, Warm Bodies), Charles Halford (Constantine, True Detective) and Austin Archer (The Night Clerk) alongside the young cast of Lorelei Olivia Mote, Phoebe Ferro, Skyler Peters and Charlie Stover.
In the rolling hills of Wyoming, three mischievous children are tasked with collecting a blueberry pie from their local store. However, what begins as a simple errand soon evolves into an odyssey across the American West, as the intrepid trio faces poachers, witches, huntsmen, and fairies, who all seek to challenge them on their quest. Will the bonds of friendship prove strong enough to guide them home?
