Blurred Realities: Narrative & Hybrid Documentaries

Description

AMERICAN ZOMBIE tells the story of two Los Angeles filmmakers who set out to document a group of high-functioning zombies and their struggles to gain acceptance in human society. After weeks of following four charismatic characters, the filmmakers gain permission to shoot at a three-day, zombies-only retreat where the documentary takes an unexpected - and dangerous - turn. AMERICAN SHOPPER is an absurd, heartwarming hybrid-documentary that follows small-town competitors training to become the first-ever champion of 'aisling,' a new sport that turns grocery shopping into a form of self-expression. THE HOLE STORY - Despite arctic temperatures sheathing Minnesota's lakes in three feet of solid ice, an inexplicable stretch of water surfaces on North Long Lake. Determined to unravel this mystery for a television pilot called "Provincial Puzzlers", an aspiring director is slowly engulfed in a maniacal search that leads to his own unraveling.
