Synopsis:
Alex can see metaphors - and it's ruining his life.
Alexander Jeremy’s movie is a continuation of his previous shorts which feature little dialogue and striking imagery - the "almost" silent film. Captivating and keeps you guessing long after the movie has ended.
For me, not only because it was this the first short I produced will it always be close to my heart, it has also been a joy to hear what viewers project onto the movie - what they think haunts the protagonist is usually what they struggle with personally. So be careful what you guess!
After a small Festival Run we decided to publish it via YouTube to make it avialable to our supporters. AJ is part of a very successful imrov comedy group Shoot From the Hip and his large fanbase has made the film possible via crowdfunding.
