We are big fans of American indie film maker John R Hand around these parts.  His debut feature Frankenstein’s Bloody Nightmare has a sort of raw, lo-fi power to it that plays like a fusion of Shinya Tsukamoto and John Sayles, his short film work is very strong and the early stills for his sophomore feature, the post-apocalyptic Scars of Youth were fascinating.  Hand is proving to be a very restless and challenging talent, someone with a broad range of influences who creates compelling, off kilter words for virtually no money on the strength of his own potent imagination.  So we are very, very pleased that Hand has given us a first look at the trailer for Scars of Youth, a film he says is largely influenced by Tarkovsky and Zulawski.  Here’s how he describes it:

In a post-apocalyptic world 200 years from now, a young man living in a decaying wreck of a cabin in the woods struggles to come to terms with his bleak existence while trying to save his mother from a strange, deathless world.

    Huh, not sure what my expectations were when I started the trailer but man did it exceed them.  There’s some pretty compelling shots in there.  Hopefully the rest of the film is as consistent.  Judging by the praise in the post above, it appears that it will be if the past is any indication.

    Cool stuff…
