Fishing
Category:
Narrative Feature 1hr 48min
Director: Joseph Lutton
After severing contact for
three years with old friends, his girlfriend Grace,
and the last remaining member
of his family (his father), an unsettled drifting
musician named Stephen Williams returns home
to search for the missing pieces in his life. In
his uncertainty and his longing for real connection,
he begins to stir up emotions in himself and others
by acting on conflicted and dangerous impulses.
Laced with humor, universal conflicts, desires
and struggles of the heart, we witness the changes
in
the lives touched by the central character as he
follows through with his choices and actions. It
is a moving story that addresses our inability
to truly grow and make healthy choices in life
when
we suppress our core feelings.
