FAULTLINE

A ten-year drought brings local ranches to the brink of disaster. The search for Bert Neville takes its toll and Rail continues on alone leaving Mitra with Zelma, a maverick, independent rancher.  Travis, Ziggy and Karin get lost in a burnt-out forest looking for a ranch she remembers before she went homeless years ago. A proposed geothermal plant is debated by ranchers and locals with divided political views as the local Hewise tribe continues its fight for indigenous rights.  Rail finds an old map in an abandoned ranch and Mitra rejoins him.  Is the mystery of Bert Neville about to be solved?

World Premiere:Mill Valley Film Festival, October, 2022

It's exciting to see Nilsson in full control of the medium, crafting a hypnotic experience about the raw, messy intimacy of family and the global impact of today's conflicted society. Equal parts shocking and calming, Faultline is its own rare breed of independent film, a gritty and beautiful cinematic poem. —Brendan Peterson, IMBD, 2022
