Barē is a Halloween tree decoration living in the clearance aisle at Bargain Branch, but their dreams refuse to be boxed in. They think they’ve got what it takes to be crowned as the next Queen of Trees, even though they don’t have luscious green leaves or dazzling decorations like the other trees in the competition. After Barē gets some guidance from Sprucilla, a legendary Queen of Trees winner, they embrace their chance to shine as their true self and prove that being different isn’t a weakness—it’s a superpower.

“Sprucilla And the Queen of Trees” is a natural fit as the first short film to be fully-funded by the I Mean Live Foundation. It tells a story of redefining labels and forging your own unique path, despite what others may think.

Barē represents anyone who has faced a world that doesn’t see their potential. Having support and inspiration can be essential fuel on your journey through life; Sprucilla and the other clearance aisle items who boost up Barē represent that love we all deserve.  

Life is short and meant to be lived, so we hope that people are inspired by “Sprucilla and the Queen of Trees” to pursue their wildest dreams.
