The film I have been working on all throughout 2007, "THE INVISIBLE FOREST", will have two premiere screenings in the Bay Area over the next two weeks (see info below). This film was made without a script though I borrowed text from William Shakespeare ("The Tempest" and "Romeo & Juiiet") and French Surrealist Antonin Artaud; almost all the actual dialogue was improvised. I'll be at both screenings to field questions and maybe add a few more of my own.

SYNOPSIS
A theatre troupe camps out in a forest to perform their director's vision of Antonin Artaud's magic theatre of ghosts, gods and spirits. During their forest experiment Alex, the director, is haunted by disturbing dreams where Artaud appears and mocks his theatrical ambitions. When these strange nightmares persist, Alex stops sleeping in an attempt to regain control over his mind. Sleep-deprived and with his sanity pushed to its limits, he seeks help from a Psychotherapist who suggests hypnosis as a means to discover the source of his problems. What follows is a journey through the internal landscape of Alex's subconscious memories and dreams, a sojourn that leads us to a place beyond belief, beyond words, and beyond the mind itself.
