"Have you ever had a nightmare?"

» CLICK HERE TO PLAY

For this experimental film, Colin Trenbeath produced a sound sequence from a variety of loops and from this, we invoked the challenge of shooting a short film to sync up with it. The theme became the creation of a nightmare, requring some harsh and dramatic visuals to match the torn audio.

Nathan Hodak stars as our lead character. Directed by Adam Richman and Colin Trenbeath, edited by Adam Richman. The film was shot entirely on location at an abandoned home in south Orange County. A special thanks to Don Richman for providing a generator to use for the weekend of shooting. The project was shot on miniDV and edited with Adobe After Effects.

Disrupted and jagged, tearing and fragmented... we present to you: "a quondam dream. anything but," we hope you enjoy.
