Until First Light follows an unnamed protagonist returning to his childhood home following the tragic death of his brother. The man struggles with loss as fall gives way to winter and he reluctantly assumes responsibility for the dying family farm where his mother and sister still live. Shot with available light and cast mainly with non-actors, each scene is a haunting line of verse. Featuring an original score by Jim O'Rourke, this quiet and intimate work draws the viewer into a meditative rural space as the man attempts to reconcile his past and present.
