Synopsis

A girl is murdered and her body dumped in the forest. Nature's Way is a short film that explores the mind of a murderer who thinks he's gotten away with it. In Jane Shearer's haunting Cannes-nominated film the dense native bush acts as witness passing down its judgement on the killer. In the absence of dialogue, Matthew Sunderland's paranoid protagonist, sublime cinematography by award-winning DoP Andrew Commis (Blue Tongue, Beautiful Kate) and an eerie, spare soundtrack by Rachel Shearer evoke the themes of utu at the suburban fringe.

Awards: 2006: Cannes Film Festival: Nominated for Best Short Film
