Written, Directed and Edited by Mike Goedecke SUMMARY: Jason Fields, a certified agoraphobic who has tragically succumbed to his condition, receives a large and mysterious wooden box. He and his laid-back friend, Rollo, open the box to find a glass bell jar, a helmet lined with empty tubes and a booklet entitled “Dr. Mesmo’s Miracle Dream Catcher”. The instructions promise that his deepest fantasy will be granted if he feeds five dreams to a grotesque creature stored within the machine. At first Jason is reluctant, but when Rollo’s mind is “stolen” by the bizarre device, there can be no turning back. Driven by the need to save his now catatonic friend and a growing lust to receive the promise of “Dr. Mesmo’s” device, Jason soon finds himself with a host of “mindless” victims hidden in his bedroom. When he unexpectedly rekindles his love for his ex-girlfriend, his life derails into madness, for in order to live his ultimate desire Jason must incubate a nightmarish monster. PROCESS: This experimental narrative sought to create a platform for various creative firms to collaborate. The narrative structure was written and creative shops were asked to submit ideas for dream sequences they wished to create. The dreams that best suited the characters in the main narrative were then chosen and produced by the various artists simultaneous to the main narrative being filmed. The result was better then I could have ever dreamed especially given the random nature of the process.
