Description:
This film is about a boy who suffers from an extreme psychosis. It focuses on a monster that is a metaphor for the fear of being afraid, a fear that is manifest in the boy. It embraces the fear of not knowing.
“Daydreamer” also represents a deep exploration of human psychosis, using technology to depict fear as manifest within the boy and to illustrate the fear of the loss of control and detachment from reality through the endless cycle of psychosis.
The film engages the viewer by pacing the story through a psychosis cycle. The film is edited to emulate how a psychotic person would think and disregards character development and traditional storytelling.
