About the film
Desperate for credits, a punch-burn laborer joins a hazard crew harvesting psychoactive sap from the forests of Jatar. Seduced by whispers from the ancient trees, he’s lured into the deep woods and consumed by the forest’s memories, witnessing the terraforming of the planet at the hands of ancient humans, the rise of a paradise on a once barren world, and humanity’s ultimate destruction by the very ecosystem they engineered. Context: Set within the broader Thirteen Cycles of Humanity Series, the story of Woodnuts takes place between the Eleventh Cycle and Twelfth Cycles of Humanity. Credits: Directed by Zack London Written by Zack London & Jacob Batchelor Produced by Gossip Goblin, Inc.
