Excerpt from a Black List evaluation:
IF A TREE FALLS is a blend between thriller and horror along the lines of something like GREEN ROOM or DON’T BREATHE. Judging by the success of both of those movies, there would certainly be an audience for this project. On top of that, its interesting setting (high up in the California redwoods) and its villain (a disgruntled logger) feel fresh, so this script would certainly attract the interest of producers looking for the next big thing. […] Thanks to its small cast, few locations, and minimal special effects, IF A TREE FALLS would not be overly expensive to produce, which makes it even more marketable. […] The writer has shown a strong ability to craft tight thrillers set in interesting locations, and IF A TREE FALLS will certainly be a strong calling card in the future.
