Following Rufus Stone‘s world premiere at BU in November 2011, Trevor Hearing (BU Media School), Ross Hillard (composer) and Kip Jones (BU Media School & School of Health and Social Care) have now produced a short trailer that captures both the story of the film as well as the beauty of its cinematography in two and a half minutes. For previous blog posts about Rufus Stone, click here.
Rufus Stone is a film about love, sexual awakening and treachery, set in the bucolic countryside of south west England, and viewed through the lens of growing older. It is based on knowledge gathered as part of the research project “Gay and Pleasant Land? – a study about positioning, ageing and gay life in rural South West England and Wales.”
