About Heartwood
This story of place and a man’s search for significance amidst clashing worlds of humans and nature is more than the tragedy and triumph of Tobias Meier’s passage from woodsman to ostracized heir. His leaving a landscape he knows and to which he is connected spiritually, moving on in pursuit of false opportunity, illuminates the larger-scale sacrifices tolled on an increasingly transient America. Heartwood contemplates what is lost as civilization expands, natural places disappear, and technology renders steadfast traditions obsolete.
The scenes of Heartwood, which Jack Driscoll (How Like An Angel; University of Michigan) calls cinematic, take place in logging camps and the sooty innards of an arc light factory, in the homes of lumber tycoons and the drafty bedrooms of company houses, during a bear hunt and in a parlor room in 1913’s finest New York hotel.
