WALDEN: LIFE IN THE WOODS is a radical, Western reimagining of Henry David Thoreau’s classic, interlacing three stories about the trappings of 21st-century life and a few unlikely transcendentalists who dream dangerously of escape. This cracked haiku of a film has something unique to say about our irreducible and irreconcilable moment in time.

With a core creative team of Denver natives, WALDEN harnesses not only local talent and crew but the state’s entire social ecosystem, showcasing Colorado and the mountain west like it has never been seen before. With an original score and select moments of stop-motion animation, the film breathes new life into Thoreau’s pioneering vision of the wilderness and our inner wilds.

It’s been an incredible journey to get this far. With your support, we will bring the film to its full potential during post-production and invest in a publicity and marketing campaign to share WALDEN with the widest possible audience.
