Ever get the feeling that things are a bit, well...mad? I do. I was inspired to write this film after hearing about an ‘immersive theatre’ experience where you went through various different rooms, and (along with extraordinary things happening) you were sometimes tasked with mundane jobs - like working in a restaurant waiting tables - it seemed like a strange thing to pay for in some ways, but after ruminating on it for a while I became interested in the Kafkaesque concept of what would happen if you were never sure the experience had ended? That disturbing thought, became coupled with the recent insanity of world politics and the surreality of the pandemic all happening at once to create a bewildering assault on our established reality. Everything then mashed together in my brain and the film was born. Also, I think I was feeling a bit sad at the time. But I don’t want people to come away from the film sad...hopefully they can come away from it feeling a little bit less alone when the world feels like it's conspiring to be the Worst. Experience. Ever.
