SCARECROW is a short film written and directed by Patrick Knipe and completed in late 2009. It was shot on Super 16mm Film and is 16 minutes in length.

Synopsis
Set during the American Civil War, SCARECROW is the story of a young Confederate soldier named Jack who goes off to war to be a hero, and who is so horrified by what he encounters in his first battle that he runs away.

Ending up in a nearby cornfield, Jack encounters two runaway slaves en-route to the North and freedom. In them he witnesses a different source of courage and discovers a battle worth fighting for...

Scarecrow delves right into the bloodiest period of American History and the incredible sacrifice and loss our country endured in order to determine its identity and ensure the freedom of all men and women. It is an especially relevant tale in these tumultuous times.
