Experiencing Interruptions?

JOUSTING

The dude's night turns into a real nightmare when he indulges in substances and begins to lose touch with reality.

Thrown out of the club onto the cold street, he heads home, lost in his own thoughts and paranoia. Spotting a dark silhouette moving towards him, the dude starts pondering the unspoken rules of crossing each others paths. How to predict the movement of the stranger? How to avoid collision? And, most importantly, what could be the consequences of this encounter?

Director Biography - Paul Gerassi

Narrative filmmaker with 6 years of video production.

Scriptwriting experience, directing, filming, editing, and producing video.

I have three short movies, commercials, clips, promo videos, and etc in my portfolio. Have tried all possible positions on the set (from storyboarding to shooting to acting), so I gained a deep understanding of the subject, because have seen both sides of the lens. Now I am writing a script for a full-length movie.

It started as a hobby, which eventually grew into a work, that's why filmmaking is not only my job, but also a passion

Director Statement

This film is about overthinking and the dangers of a hostile attitude toward the world. I aimed to make it immersive so that the viewer would start overthinking as well, projecting their own meanings onto it and experiencing the same emotions as the main character.
