"Land ain't for pussies and neither is war."

Is it greed or ignorance that makes a man lust for land? Set during the Great Depression, this riveting drama draws parallels to today's housing & real estate crisis. And dares you to ask the question, who is really at fault?

The Farm, set against the snow-capped mountains of Utah is the story of four men caught in the web of progress, greed and humanity during the 1930Â’s Great
Depression.

Sam Shoemaker (Justin Scot, Ugly Betty and The Forgotten), a poor farmer trying to cultivate barren fruitless land, has come up empty handed and in debt to the local town banker, Mr. Drexler (Garrett M. Brown, Big Love and Uncle Buck). With no source of income and the bank leaning to push him off his property, Sam finds himself at the end of a very short rope.

Drexler, along with his son Jerusha (Dave Matos) and The Hoarse Man (Jasen Wade) drag Sam to a desolate piece of his property to teach him a lesson he will soon not forget; but as the true colors of these men are discovered, all becomes unraveled and hell breaks loose.

Great Short Film!

I saw this wonderful film the other day at a screening a local film festival. "The Farm" draws parallels to today's housing crisis, telling the story of a young man fighting for his land during the depression era. I'm not a huge fan of short films, but I thought that the production of this film was top notch and indeed very professional. The story is pertinent to our times, as an increasing number of homeowners have faced foreclosures since the onset of the global financial crisis. I recommend this film to anyone looking for a piece of dramatic cinema that goes beyond the call of duty, and can wake up and mobilize its audience. All in all, this is a spectacular short -- a heartwarming tale of pussies and land.
