Synopsis

Following a car accident, Ford awakens with retrograde amnesia only to discover he's the leader of a fringe spiritual movement. He and one of his members try to keep his condition a secret until they can escape. However, Ford's lack of memories forces him to question everything. Will this new version of Ford survive or will the movement?

About The Team

With a love of cinema's more idiosyncratic directing auteurs, Maxwell Addae has strived to express himself as purely as possible. Most notable merging the vulnerably personal with genre flourishes. Following a small stint touring as a performance artist, which changed how he envisioned movement within film, he is now eager to utilize all of the new tools he's acquired over the years. His American Film Institute thesis short and most personal work to date is called Outdooring which has screened at over 20 international festivals. Most notably the 2019 South by Southwest, Blackstar, Outfest, shortlisted for the Iris Prize, Revolt TV, and screened in the 2020 Clermont-Ferrand International Film Festival. nn
