Reynolds has worked in film and television for 10 years, but never had a project so close to home. Literally. "I could see the Great Oak from my home," he reminisced. "When I heard the tree was coming down, I reached out to everyone I worked with on other projects. I told them, this is a once-in-six-hundred-years occurrence. We have to document it for future generations."
