An elderly man fishing on a tempestuous sea is a metaphor for loss of memory and loss of self. As everything he tries to “catch” slips through his fingers, so too the world slips away and he becomes undone.

At the height of the Great Depression, the showman of a renowned circus leads his troupe through the devastated American landscape, lifting the spirits of audiences along the way. During their travels they discover, Will, a man without limbs who lives out his life in a sordid carnival sideshow, far below his aspirations of the grandeur of the great circuses. Having only known a life of limitation and discouragement, Will is struck by an intriguing encounter with the showman that leaves him with a drive to hope against everything he has ever believed.

Winner of the Doorpost Film Project, this short film by Joshua Weigel will be expanded into a feature length film.

Watch it. (Flash Video)

thanks Phil!
