John W. Farrell

Picture
John is one of the principal players in this production.  Besides having a great narrative "one take" voice and playing the part of Elias Seaman, John contributed outstanding stills and video to the film.  When not battling the infernal weeds that manifest themselves on his hayfields, he devotes many hours to the photography craft.
