Honeycomb

description

In-person Q&A with Director Avalon Fast, and actor Henri Gillespi

A group of young girls move to the woods, leaving everything they know behind, in this Canadian breakout indie horror.

In the mundane hours of early summer, five girls sulk in their own boredom waiting for something. When Willow stumbles upon a seemingly abandoned cabin, she begins fantasizing about the life she and the girls could have there. Leader, Jules, Vicky, and Millie pack their bags and whisper a quick goodbye to the life they knew. They flow through open fields, blissfully entering their brand new sun-soaked world. The girls push for a meaning that is hardly there, struggling to reach out, grab it and lock it in a box. Sometimes the girls find themselves feeling as though they were more free before.
