SANE
Cary Mason 12 mins
Two film school graduates are employed by a reclusive musician to shoot a promo of his rural idyll, the inspiration for his work. But personalities and creative egos clash, when they discover that the musician is in fact living in a cottage in the grounds of his parents country estate. The Director accuses the guy of being a fraud. But why is the mansion empty? And why is the musician going to such great lengths to keep it so? Sane. A comedy about music, film, and so-called 'artistic vision'.
