04/14/2014 — “Eden” is a short film about a 21st century explorer, a young man who sets out to search for the lost paradise of Eden. The film features many beautiful locations never before captured on film and is chocked full of weaving metaphors that plumb the thoughts, dreams, and disappointments of 21st century man. At heart, it’s about the explorer in all of us.
Tristan Erwin likes to think of film as a visual storytelling medium. It has been seen that the stories or poems that have lasted through the ages offer a lesson or an insight into life or the age in which they were written. This kind of depth in the world of film is usually found only in feature films these days, which is why creating a short film with such depth is a relatively unheard of thing. This along with the unique subjects touched upon will make “Eden” a stand out film.
Erwin states on the subject of bringing the location of Eden to life “Obviously everyone has their own ideas and visions of what Eden might have looked like. To me filming Eden means venturing deep into the wilderness and finding natural beauty untouched by man. That is one of the things I see in the story of Eden, man living with and as one with nature and the world around him. So to me that was a large part of considering locations for the film.”
Tristan plans on sending the film to the 2015 Cannes Film Festival in France, whether or not it is accepted the film will be sent to as many film festivals as possible throughout the world.
