Tim McCann’s (Desolation Angels) award-winning film is an emotionally charged and moving portrait of a young man’s descent into mental illness. Michael Risley delivers an extraordinary performance as James Jackson, a recently engaged young man living in New York City. He soon imagines himself the victim of an overwhelming sensory attack by corporate media. After tracing these influences to a television commercial, he begins to seek out its unsuspecting director (Spalding Gray). Posing as a reporter for a film journal, Jackson prepares for what becomes a disturbing face-to-face confrontation. Meanwhile, Jackson’s fiancee (Adrienne Shelly). desperately attempts to get him treatment, but becomes entangled by the Kafka-esque workings of the mental health care system. As their relationship strains, it seems that Jackson is determined to uncover this conspiracy by any means necessary.
