A Tricky Treat presents a shocking tale of the unexpected with a twist.
Director Statement: I wanted to create an interesting metaphor, using role reversal, about how humans become voraciously consumptive for the sake of ceremonial tradition—slaughtering masses of turkeys for Thanksgiving, leveling vast acres of trees for Christmas, and harvesting fields of pumpkins for Halloween.
The film is very short, approximately 3 minutes long. However, don’t let that fool you. This one packs a punch, and if you stick around till the end, you’ll be in for a truly tricky little treat!
