Next Film
Feb 16
“The Man Inside” is our next feature film project in development.
Something like (but not exactly like) a cross between “Candide” and James Purdy’s “Malcolm,” A young amnesiac leaves school, heads for New York, and marries a trollop. When his wife leaves him, Caro heads South, gets stranded in a small Kentucky town and there is taken in bondage by a sinister judge who owns the town and everybody in it. The judge uses Caro first as a teller in his bank, then as a gardener: finally he has him sealed into a big robot as a toy for his son. The end of Caro’s odyssey is offbeat and upbeat. A smoothly written fantasy with some really fantastic adventure.
