Walden is a feature-length film shot in 2023 in Athens, Georgia by Grant Urry with help from Cash Robinson and many others. It is a quiet film for thinking and remembering.
In Walden, a young political extremist commits an act of violence and is forced to hide out in the woods of rural Georgia after his wife reports him. The film lingers in the pauses and procedures of fugitive life, emphasizing the ghost-like, observational and reflective role forced upon the man in hiding.
Walden owes a debt to Yasujiro Ozu, Robert Bresson, Paul Schrader, Raymond Carver, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Kelly Reichardt, Abbas Kiarostami, and many others
