Marshland (2026)

Overview

In a rural community in Central Oregon, Sprague, a quiet and guarded young trans man, seeks to carve a life. He spends his days working on his property — immersed in a place that offers freedom and isolation. Solitude has always been a form of protection, a way of surviving in a place where visibility carries risk. When he meets Mack, an older community member who extends an unexpected hand of friendship, Sprague finds himself at a crossroad — connection or safety. Sprague’s presence unsettles Wayne, a suspicious and territorial neighbor whose watchful eye makes clear that acceptance requires strategy. As pressure mounts, Sprague must decide whether to remain guarded within the safety of isolation or risk taking up space within this community.
