Summaries

Facing writer's block, an author attempts to ignore his urge to drink and the vivid memories of his past. Shot and hand-cut on 16mm (both B&W and color) film, this short alternative fiction reminds us that not everything is as it seems.

A short, experimental film shot on both color and B&W 16mm film. Writer's Block follows the protagonist, The Writer as he attempts a writing session whilst distracted by his urge to drink (combating his recent sobriety). He begins to fight fantastical, lucid dreams about his wife and daughter as the daughter in his dreams takes him on an adventure through his subconscious. It soon becomes clear to both The Writer and the audience that reality is not what it seems and there is more to his past than appears.—Anyonomous
