Experiencing Interruptions?

NEVERMIND

Duke, a man with an emotionless demeanor, watches his relationship crumble as his girlfriend leaves, exhausted by his cold, distant nature. Left alone with an engagement ring that never found its moment, he embarks on a bizarre and self-destructive quest to "feel something." From awkward encounters to dangerous confrontations, Duke finally experiences a fleeting sense of vitality when violence pushes him to the brink of sensation. In a climactic, bloody return to his ex’s doorstep, he offers her the ring, claiming he has finally felt something. But his misguided pursuit of connection only deepens his isolation, leaving him in tears—and hysterical laughter—as the credits roll.

"Nevermind" is a darkly comedic exploration of detachment, longing, and the absurdity of human emotions.

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.

Director Statement

This film is based on personal experience since I also went through a period when I felt emotionally numb and tried to find emotions in different ways. So, creating this film was an immersive experience for me as well—I ended up feeling the full spectrum of emotions, all at once...
