A woman makes her way through a surreal landscape in the wake of a horrible accident in this independent drama. A woman from Oregon (Lindsay Pulsipher) finds herself behind the wheel of a car, bleeding from her head and battered from head to toe. She staggers from the wreckage to discover two people lying on the ground in front of the car, and she has no memory of what happened, where she is or even what her name is. The woman tries to make her way to safety, and as the day wears on she's confronted with one bizarre situation after another as she meets a parade of threatening strangers, ranging from a witch to a man in a fuzzy green monster costume. The Oregonian was the first feature film from writer and director Calvin Lee Reeder; the picture was an official selection at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
