Experience the heartfelt and moving short films The Tree (2019) and The Letter (2014) by award-winning director James Sharpe, now available in a special VCD Double Feature. Perfect for collectors and fans of classic formats, this release brings two unforgettable stories of love, memory, and obsession in the timeless VCD format.
The Tree (2019) tells the story of an elderly man, portrayed by Robert Johnson, who is suffering from dementia. When his carer (Hayley-Marie Axe) gives him £150 to pay his council tax, he instead buys an antique movie projector from a charity shop. The projector contains an old film titled The Tree, and as the man watches it, he becomes deeply infatuated with a woman in the film. Convinced that finding the actual tree from the movie will lead him to the love of his life, he embarks on a bittersweet journey that blurs the lines between fantasy and reality. With touching performances and a thought-provoking narrative, The Tree delves into the complexities of memory, love, and obsession.
The Letter (2014) presents a different but equally emotional story of love. Steven, played by Peter Barfield, hands in his resignation at work only to realize he has fallen for a co-worker, portrayed by Sarah Langton. Despite never having spoken to her, Steven becomes captivated by her presence. With the encouragement of his friend Robert (Simon Mathews), Steven decides to take a leap of faith and writes her a letter—an act that could change both their lives. The Letter explores the delicate balance between hope and vulnerability, and the risks we take in pursuit of love.
Both films showcase James Sharpe’s mastery of emotional storytelling, with themes that resonate deeply with audiences. This VCD Double Feature brings these two unforgettable short films to life in a classic format that collectors and film enthusiasts will love.
Although VCDs may not offer the same level of visual quality as modern formats like Blu-ray or DVD, this timeless format provides a nostalgic viewing experience that captures the essence of Sharpe's beautiful narratives. Whether you're a fan of independent films, a collector of physical media, or someone who simply enjoys well-crafted storytelling, this VCD Double Feature is a must-have for your collection.
