Private Project

Nudged

At a community TV station, in a small Texas town, we find artists, mathematicians, yoga instructors, computer programmers, old hippies, the slightly crazy and the unrequited.. The three main characters illustrate the dynamics going on. Paul, the artist, is a widower who has gone into his own little world and convinced himself that he is happy right there. Mary, the mathematician, is hiding a big lie and she finally decides to reveal who she really is. Rusty, a one-time, hotshot radio guy, is determined to reclaim the past and is slowly consumed by his fantasies and obsessions. Lives intertwined, these people nudge each other into confessions, confrontations and new expectations.

Director Statement

My two feature films, Nudged (2015) and Impasse (2011), examine the many ways people become stuck in their lives and how interacting with others moves them into new roles, situations and expectations.
