Heartless: The Story of The Tin Man

“Heartless: The Story of The Tin Man” by Brandon McCormick (Whitestone Motion Pictures), tells the backstory of how Tin Man from the “Wizard of Oz” came into existence.

Based on the backstory of one of the most beloved children’s novels of all time comes the extraordinary love story between a simple woodsman and a beautiful maiden. Not having many possessions but wanting to marry his maiden, the woodsman sets his heart to build a large and beautiful cabin.

L. Frank Baum wrote the back story to the Tin Woodsman in his book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Heartless: The Story of the Tin Man is Whitestone Motion Pictures retelling this little known story of the tragic arc of a beloved character who was once human, made of flesh and blood that turned into tin.
