A Standing Still(2014)

A Standing Still is a drama following Allison, a fire lookout in Oregon's Willamette National Forest who has carved out a solitary existence high above the world. When a medical emergency with her father forces her down from her tower, she confronts the family tensions and personal losses that drove her into isolation. The film explores how grief and displacement shape our choices, as Allison grapples with whether she can face the life—and the people—she's been avoiding. Quiet and introspective, A Standing Still examines the cost of running away and the possibility of finding solid ground again.
