Oak, Ivy and Other Dead Elms

Directed by John Paizs

Logline: John Paizs' second installment in his Three Words of Nick trilogy.

Synopsis: Nick, the silent hero, sets off for college where he becomes involved in an attempt to restore the old campus hangout and in a dirty and hard-fought student election. The film weaves the tone of '40s college movies with a clever spoof of current electoral trends, suggesting how easily old fashioned ethics turn into fascism.
