As part of his tribe’s rite of passage, a young hunter has to prove his worth by hunting down a great beast. However, amidst navigating the hunt and the rituals of his tribe, he finds himself increasingly troubled by what he has done.
Benjamin Tan directed 'The Beast in the Woods' as part of his final year project at Nanyang Technological University School of Art, Design & Media. Having an interest in the subtleties of one's inner world, his films focus on telling considered stories with a distinct emotional core. Benjamin now works as an art educator in Singapore.
