We successfully wrapped up shooting in August and October of 2024 and are well into post-production. On set for The Death of the Hired Man This work chronicles the return of a farm laborer to a home that is not eager to receive him. It is late fall, almost winter, and there is little to no work for him, and he hasn't anywhere else to go.
Here's an excerpt from the poem, an exchange between Mary and Warren pondering the meaning of home.
‘Warren,’ she said, ‘he has come home to die: You needn’t be afraid he’ll leave you this time.’
‘Home,’ he mocked gently.
‘Yes, what else but home? It all depends on what you mean by home. Of course he’s nothing to us, any more Than was the hound that came a stranger to us Out of the woods, worn out upon the trail.’
‘Home is the place where, when you have to go there, They have to take you in.’
‘I should have called it Something you somehow haven’t to deserve.’
~ Robert Frost
