Fantastic Fest 2023 was from September 21 to 28 and has so many movies that I can’t wait to see. You can learn more about this movie and when it is played here.

Nolan Bentley (Michael Weston) wakes up with his arms tied back behind a tree. After days of no food or water, he may be a little out of it, yet he still notices when The Outdoorsman (A.J. Buckley) pitches a tent next to him and starts talking. He never offers to save him. And Nolan may never know why.

Directed by Marc Schölermann and written by Steve Fauquier, this is a big idea to take the whole way to a full-length movie instead of just a short, but the way this plays with the audience, it does a pretty decent job. Telling any more would give it all away, but Bark is an interesting two-character experiment.
