For years, Michael Solace (Justin Thibault) has scarcely managed to scrape through as an independent filmmaker, but now a big wig Hollywood producer who has shown interest to produce films in the area, is interested in one of his scripts, and Michael's agent Monica (Diana Porter) urges him to sign on, as while it would mean for him to lose creative control over this particular project, the cash involved would mean he could realize potentially several of his smaller projects. Instead of listening to reason, Michael believes he's selling out and falls into a fever dream that exaggerates his panic to surrealist heights ..

Now this is a short that will definitely strike a chord with all writers, heck, all creatives who have ever gotten afraid of their own success - and that's almost all of them. What makes this silm so special though is that it doesn't waste its time on dry psychoanalysis but puts things into pictures almost immediately, and these pictures are strong and poignant, with Justin Thibault plays it fittingly straight and is supported by a solid cast indeed. In all, definitely worth a watch.
