Dendrophobia was by far the largest film idea the team had up to that point. The idea came to director Liam Edel during research on greek mythology. He came across the story of King Erysichthon who was cursed with insatiable hunger after his arrogance leads him to chopping down a forbidden tree.

Trying to keep the scope of Dendrophobia small didn't age well, slowly growing into the team's biggest production yet. Shot over 11 different days through collaboration with over 18 people the light at the end of the tunnel slowly getting closer. 

Dendrophobia was shown at Unspooled Film Festival May 10th and released publicly later that week on the 15th. Overall the crew learned a lot through the creation of this film such as collaborating with larger groups and how to efficiently shoot in multiple locations.
