Aftershow Triptych (2016)

A vignette inspired by Jim Jarmusch's Coffee and Cigarettes. After sitting through a particularly taxing allegorical adaptation of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are (Where the Wild Things Used To Be), Adam recounts with admiration the play's hidden depths to long-suffering girlfriend Lindy. After light-hearted stranger Jacob interrupts the conversation between Adam and Lindy, we see by contrast Adam's true ego is rather more depressed and disconsolate than at first glance. For intense and brooding playwright Adam, Jacob's aestheticism smacks of more sinister undertones.
