😱While Mortals Sleep

"Admitting that...disorientation was vital to the type of film he wanted to create, Fofonoff... liked the idea his audience would “think we’re watching one kind of movie until the reality we thought we understood gets flipped upside down...Past, present, future – this weird little tale would work whenever.' - 🙃 Rob Munday, S/W Curator
