About the film:
Set in 19th century rural America, a young sharecropper boy and a backwoods doctor journey through a swamp and are haunted by an elusive supernatural force. This neo-silent film follows these two disparate characters into a murky, nearly uncharted and gothic terrain. They find themselves lost, the boy is drunken on too much brandy, and they spend the night in the woods, under the starless sky. What will the night bring? What will become of them? Who will survive? [Give Me A Dram is an adaption from the Henry Clay Lewis short story ‘A Struggle for Life.’]

About the filmmaker:
Jeremy Moss received his BA in English at the University of Utah before shifting his gaze towards filmmaking. At the Ohio University School of Film he made a series of short films that have now screened in numerous national and international film festivals. His work is predominantly narrative, yet it is infused with documentary and experimental impulses. He explores and examines themes and subjects ranging from solitude and isolation in the modern city, private obsessive indulgences, overbearing religious institutions, and of late, rural gothic horror.
He currently resides in Lancaster, PA with his wife Leigh, his son Ingmar, and Boston Terrier Harvey. By day, he is an Assistant Professor of Film and Media Studies at Franklin & Marshall College.
