Treevenge details the experiences and horrifying reality of the lives of Christmas trees. Clearly, for trees, Christmas isn’t the exciting “peace on earth” that is experienced by most. After being hacked down, and shipped away from their homes, they quickly become strung up, screwed into an upright position for all to see, exposed in a humiliation of garish decorations. But this Christmas will be different, this Christmas the trees have had enough, this Christmas the trees will fight back. Treevenge could be a short film about the end of days for Christmas trees, or perhaps, the end of humanity?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jason Eisener made this after winning a fake trailer contest with Hobo with a Shotgun, proving Canadians can out-splatter Americans on pocket change.
The film's environmental revenge fantasy predated the 'cannibalistic capitalism' horror boom by a decade, making trees the original eco-avengers before M. Night got to it.
