In The Forest of Tom Bombadil
“In October of 2015, we shot In the Forest of Tom Bombadil. Family, friends and community members all came together to pull off the production, and I absolutely fell in love with the experience of being on set. I knew that I wanted to continue to learn and grow as a director in whatever capacity I could, ultimately, deciding to pursue directing as a career. While I can look at that short film today and see how rudimentary it is in comparison to my other work, I’m still so proud of what we accomplished as a team and in my ability to execute my vision at such a young age.”
-Hannah Barlow
“If you’ve ever pondered what a Tom Bombadil sequence might look like on film, this amateur short that adapts Tolkien's chapter In the House of Tom Bombadil The Fellowship of the Ring offers one interesting perspective. It does take its own textual liberties though.”
