In February 2020, Eden's Cave had just premiered their theatre production, Forests, at the House, Plymouth; a piece the company had been developing privately in the Forest of Dean since 2017. It was an enormous success, but with the escalating conditions of the pandemic were forced to shut down their tour. 

​

In the autumn of 2020, the company made a collective decision to adapt the production into a film, a process that has transformed the company, expanding its performance-making processes.

​

For 18 days in the summer of 2021, the company, together with 2 Emerging Artists, Cristina Varga and Freddie Emmett and a sound artist, Mark Heavenor filmed Forests at Aercwell Mill and locations around the Forest of Dean. 

​

Currently being edited, the film will be released in 2024.
