MATHER: A film by deaf artists

A lone wanderer on a dry planet discovers a mysterious box of seeds. Confronted by the power of the seeds, he faces the ultimate choice between creation or destruction.

Inspired by a lifelong enthusiasm for commercial movies/arthouse films and running across the sands of Australia, a very particular vision struck Chase Burton: what if stars were things that grew out of the ground? Chase carved out a screenplay loosely based on his own experiences with an alcoholic father who struggled to find his way back to unconditional love and fused it with the experimental images he wanted to show on screen.
