FALLING FRAMES
The Director of this film finds himself in a precarious situation when a hapless character from his own movie decides to kidnap him in this surreal comedy. The Kidnapper demands that the Director write him a happy ending as he struggles to understand how he was able to break down the fourth wall and abduct the Director from the real world. Through their conversations the Director is forced to think more deeply about the character he has created and what happens when his creative vision gets away from him.
