"Set in turn-of-the-century Kansas, an isolated farmer finds the body of a woman along side a road and uses her to get over the death of his wife. A reluctant trip into the family home brings unwelcome memories and a recent hunting trip has unusual consequences."
Director's Statement
Rabbits is the second in an informal Kansas Trilogy that began with my 2014 short film Somewhere Between Freedom and Protection, Kansas. The landscape and stories of the Kansas prairie are mystical to me. Magical.
Westward expansion brought pioneers into the wilderness with a promise; work hard, have children and find success. But what about the poor souls overcome by the wilderness, isolation and bad luck? This is the impetus of Rabbits.
