CASTLETOWN

Castletown, Montana is the setting for this short film by Scott Duce, it conveys the subtle and profound sense of abandonment, with ghost-like deer appearing to suggest the former and present residence in this  once thriving mining town of the 1890's.  The town now sits as a ghost town with restricted access to visitors.  The film combines photographs, live footage, and hand-drawn animations to present a carefully constructed aura of a uniquely anxious, troubled, and discarded habitat where even the birds, insects and animals are not fully imbedded in reality.
