Is true human contact possible in this fragmented, post-digital age?

Late Night. Frank finishes using the bathroom and walks out into the hall. A yellow ray of light is leaking through a crack in his son's door. Strange, unexplainable sounds are coming from the room -- music and the sound of his son giggling. Frank slowly makes his way towards the door and peeks through the crack. He quickly turns away, his face contorting in disgust and shame. But he doesn't move away, and is compelled by some terrible force to look again. Inside the room, his son's naked form glides through the darkness -- illuminated only by the cold light of the computer screen.

This is the story of a Father and Son who are each trapped in their own reality: one in nostalgic dreams of a lost country and manhood; the other in a digital haze of video-games and sex. In a series of scenes, we see the mysterious inner life of both of these characters as they slip further and further into the world of their own dreams -- before a world-shattering night forces them to confront the reality of their own existence.

A psychological and emotional portrait of a young boy driven to search for meaning through
online sex. An exploration of the possibility of genuine contact in an age of alienation and a statement on the darkness hidden within the depths of the American dream.

Notice to SAG members:

SAGIndie has confirmed that the productions listed here have "pending" signatory status. This means that they have been sent the initial paperwork to begin the signatory process. It does not guarantee that they are signatory or will ever become signatory. Projects that are "pending" have not yet met all SAG requirements needed to obtain an "active" status, including the submission of the applicable signatory documents and valid workers compensation insurance. Any performer working on such projects does so at his or her own risk and subjects themselves to a Rule 1 violation.

It is the responsibility of every SAG member to confirm the signatory status of a production before providing any services. The signatory status of a producer can be checked by calling your local SAG office.

These casting notices are listed as a service to actors and producers interested in working on low-budget productions. Other than confirming the pending status, no background checks have taken place. SAG and SAGIndie assume no responsibility and cannot guarantee the legitimacy of these producers or productions.

If you have any problems with any of these producers please report them to your local SAG office.
