Interesting early work

Impressive short film by Scott (billed as Anthony Scott), made while he was still a film student. Set during America's Civil War, it follows the grim fortunes of a scout who becomes trapped in the rubble of a bombed-out house behind enemy lines. A little over-flashy perhaps (like some of Scott's later features!), but a definite cut above most similar student projects.
