Meet the filmmakers at this special debut. Director/producer Gary Lundgren and producer Anne Lundgren will be in Sedona for the premiere event and will host a Q&A discussion following the screening.
“Above the Trees” stars Danielle Kelly, Julian Remulla, Luis Rodriguez, Danforth Comins and Barret O'Brien. It was filmed on location in the Rogue Valley.
When a good man is assaulted and left in a serious coma, his best friend and local boxer is charged with the crime. The story follows a mosaic of people linked to the tragedy, while the criminal trial unfolds in Jackson County.
"In ‘Above the Trees’, Gary Lundgren — the Ashland director of ‘Calvin Marshall’ (2009) and ‘Phoenix Oregon’ (2019) — traces a tragedy’s aftershocks and twists of fate. The crime drama depicts the steamrolling momentum of the legal system and shines even brighter light on the fragile human lives held in its sway.” — Chance Solem-Pfeifer, Willamette Week
“Above the Trees” is "part character study and part courtroom drama with just a pinch of metaphysical sparkle.” — Marc Mohan, Oregon ArtsWatch
