EXTERIOR. A TROUBLED NARRATIVE. A MUSICAL.
Synopsis
Writer Athena Reel is spinning from the suicides of her best friend, actress Mary Sue Blue and Mary’s boyfriend, rockstar Johnny Ash. Already hiding from a traumatic past, when confronted with the conditions that have brought her to the present, time becomes blurred and her stories begin to unravel. Caught in a dangerous mix of reality, fantasy and fiction, past and present Athena struggles to find a way back to life and make sense of it all when her friends could not.
EXTERIOR is a one of a kind meta-film, musical journey to the beyond and back. Employing no less than 8 different cameras and shot over 3 years on a shoestring budget EXTERIOR explores the reality of suicide and the realities of it’s after affects. When all one has left is a playlist and a pair of earphones; the film bravely asks the viewer to hear as Athena hears and, crucially, feel as she feels.
Outside lies the exterior. All in now.
