Actor and director Taylor Olson hadn't imagined when he set out to make a film that depicts isolation and broken hopes that his final cut would emerge during a pandemic when many are experiencing similar emotions.

The 28-year old has completed a cinema version of playwright Catherine Banks' "Bone Cage," the story of a young man who clear cuts the local forest, pausing to mourn the dead and injured creatures found amid the debris.

The 87-minute movie, being streamed online in film festivals this fall, tells the story of Jamie, who runs a wood-processing machine in the forests surrounding his East Coast community.Recently engaged to Krista, Jamie -- played by Olson -- dreams of a future as a helicopter logger in British Columbia.

Meanwhile, Krista, who has yet to fully realize her future husband's despair, is satisfied to remain in the town, believing their "me-and-you babe" bond will conquer all. His relatives have loved and supported him in his life as an artist, he said, and he's recently receiving funding from Telefilm Canada and the Canada Council for fresh projects.
