The Planters

This is a radical experiment in feature filmmaking. Two women, starring in, and making a film with no on-set crew. 'The Planters' is a dark comedy about Martha Plant, an air-conditioning telemarketer who sucks at her job, doesn’t like people, but likes to bury stolen treasure in exchange for cash donations. While grieving the loss of her parents, Martha finds unlikely friendship in Sadie Mayflower, a Jesus-loving vagrant with multiple personalities. Martha takes Sadie into her home, gives her a stake in her secret treasure-planting business, and helps her work through her mental illness. In exchange, Sadie helps Martha keep her job, find love, and discover her true voice. But when someone starts stealing her treasure, Martha learns that opening herself up can come with unexpected consequences. (Nashville Film Festival)
