About the film
"Tuttle" is a poignant documentary that follows the journey of 22-year-old Connor Tuttle as he grapples with the aftermath of an incident involving his mother's abuser. Through Connor's story, the film explores the complex dynamics of domestic abuse, delving into themes of trauma, resilience, and healing. With a blend of raw honesty and poetic imagery, "Tuttle" offers an intimate look at the relationship between one’s environment and character in this uniquely told story.
Directors statement
This film is more than just a story about domestic abuse; it’s an exploration of how our environments shape us and the often-unspoken impact of witnessing violence. Connor's story resonated with me deeply because it reflects a pervasive and frequently ignored reality. His experience could occur anywhere, yet society often shies away from confronting it. The subject matter found within this brutally real story is entirely and beautifully human.
When I began making this film, I was the same age as Connor was during his incident with his mother’s abuser. This parallel made me reflect on what I might have done in his situation, and I realized that our paths might not have been so different. Through 'Tuttle,' I aim to bring light to these hidden narratives and encourage a dialogue that leads to understanding, empathy, and change. we are more than the sum of our actions, we are human.
