SOLITUDE, STRENGTH & SURREALISM
What if healing meant walking into the woods… and never coming back the same?
In our latest Richmond Film Network Podcast episode, filmmaker D.K. Lawhorn reveals the story behind "Elsbeth" — a surreal, cathartic journey of a woman reclaiming her power. Fueled by lingering Blue Ridge beauty, whispered trauma, and the unexpected community of a coven in the trees, "Elsbeth" explores how healing can be messy, ritualistic, and deeply rooted in nature.
DK shares:
- Why he shifted from “The Axeman” to a female-centered narrative
- How silence, stillness, and atmosphere tell the story
- The role of land, ritual, and community in recovery
- The magic of music and micro-moments (including a very important frog)
"Elsbeth" makes its Richmond premiere November 15 at 12 PM at RFN Indie Fest .
Listen now, and step into the woods with us.
