THE MAPLE CUTTER | Film by Lynn M. Thomas, Danny Hoffman, Michael Sanderson | Feat. Justin Wilke

In 2018, the Maple Fire burned more than 3000 acres of Washington State’s Olympic National Forest, making national news. Federal prosecutors alleged that a local man, Justin Wilke, started the blaze while removing a beehive from a tree he planned to steal. Justin, prosecutors claimed, is a tree poacher. Late that summer night, Justin was in pursuit of figured Big Leaf Maple, a rare wood coveted by guitar makers, when things went horribly wrong. The Maple Cutter explores Justin’s complex relationship with the woods and the equally complex way that Justin explains that relationship – to the world and to himself. Justin’s is a story of addiction, nostalgia, nature, and work in rural America. It is a story about how people love and live through forests today.
