An emotional and physical horror film about a man living with Muscular Dystrophy and the metaphorical journey of dealing with his negligent nursing staff.


"This innovative film reflects lived experiences on a psychological/spiritual plane of its star, co-producer and writer, Will Stocker. Director Zak Seidman, originally from Baltimore, has worked with Stocker to create a film that is captivating on a primal level and genuinely deserving of being categorized as Lynchian." - MdFF programming team
