Its a little late and I've just come in from the studio but I wanted to add a quick post in case you get a chance to see this film which I went along to last night.

| The book that inspired the film The Tree |
Here's the first line from the
first chapter of the book found at the film's website...
"It was simple for me: the saints were in heaven, and guardian angels had extendable wings like Batman, and my dad had died and gone to live in the tree in the back yard."
Below is Simone who's story is key to the book and the film.

The Boonah countryside
The film is set in country not that far from Brisbane so the Moreton Bay Fig Tree and house featured in this film were quite familiar. These wonderful trees are a familiar sight around where I live. I have only once before posted on a film here... so you can take it from me that the film was quite special! Read more on the film here!

That's one impressive tree. It's so big, you could make a house in it. Gorgeous doesn't even cover it! It's breathtaking. Will have to read a bit more about the film... and perhaps go and have a look too! xo :)
Oh....I do hope you get to see this film Inalux! If the pics touched you the film will get into your soul!
The film reminds one what's SO to love about trees!
Lovely to read your comment...and how amazing I had happened on your question re trees the same time I had posted this!
Enjoy your Sunday ...the lightest rain is deliciously tumbling down outside...a kind of blissful Sunday really!

Ahh, this looks m-a-r-v-e-l-o-u-s. Alas, here I am on the west coast of America and I don't see a shimmer of this film over here. Sophie, is this a brand new release? If so, perhaps Netflix will oblige in a few months...
Thanks for posting! That tree...that TREE...

Hi Sophie,
Thank you so much for spreading the word about "The Tree". We were very excited to find this post on your blog and congratulate you on your beautiful work. Mt Coot-Tha must be such an inspiration. Please stay in touch for updates on where The Tree will be screening across the globe. There are more international film festivals and releases lined up. We'll be publishing the information on these as soon as we are given the go-ahead.
Best wishes,
The Tree Team
