A bereft widow inherits a 5-acre homestead in the desert. As she struggles to forget her past and build a new life for herself in this isolating and unrelenting landscape, she starts to believe someone (or something) is tormenting her.
Director’s Vision for ‘Jackrabbit Homestead’
A few years ago I was lost in the desert. It was 109 degrees, nothing but dry heat, dust, and the occasional jackrabbit. Then I saw, peppered throughout the desert, these small, dilapidated dwellings – Jackrabbit Homesteads. I was grieving, and, like me, they were isolated, gutted, and barren. They were sad. They were haunted. And so was I. From that connection, I found the inspiration for a story I’d been aching to tell.
“Jackrabbit Homestead” utilizes the genre of the psychological thriller to tell a story of self-imposed, isolating torment in the wake of guilt and grief. It is the story of a woman seeking forgiveness in the unforgiving desert.
