Hell
Directed by Parker Croft (Cinequest 2011 Special Jury Prize winner) Produced by Nolan Gould (ABC’s Modern Family), Parker Croft, and Q&A till 6:40 PM. Erika Totoro. (West Hollywood, CA) A place where dreams are real, wishes come true, and everything is always awful for everyone. The first installment of the Hard Times Anthology, Hell follows the patriarch of a dying farm on the outskirts of Ash Harbor as he is methodically ground down by the machinery of despair. What begins as endurance curdles into something far more existential, a portrait of collapse told through dust, labor, and silence.
