RUST is an award-winning British short film, conceived and Directed by Tim Mountain.  Inspired by the old mining tracks in the Forest of Dean, Rust is an allegory of the decay of nature and abandoned industry.  The film will use metaphor through spoken word poetry to symbolise the demise of nature in the autumn season, with the falling of orange leaves parodying that of rusting industrialisation. 
Tim is the CEO and Creative Director at Evenlode Films and Productions.  A prolific filmmaker and composer, Tim says, "After a busy year producing films and events for our many clients, it's important for our team at Evenlode to create something original, not for profit, but to express our creativity and desire to make original film. We're working with our team of incredibly talented artists, writers, editors and musicians to create this arthouse short. There's a real freedom in creating something unique and it's good to work on this type of production."

Filmed on location at the Lea Bailey Light Railway, the film weaves heritage rail, cinematic visuals, and original score.
