Short Film Saturdays: The Wildlings Trap
Rating: ★★★ 1/2
The Wildlings Trap is arguably one of the most beautiful short films I’ve seen, as I thoroughly enjoyed the nature visuals. On par with any good nature documentary, it transports you to the world of one wildling, and what she sees as her everyday life.
