Trapped (Short Films)
Does the world ever seem slightly off to you, like you haven't slept in days? Are you worried that someone is plotting against you: your weird neighbor, or your adorable children, or your husband? Do you suspect that phantom casinos are scamming you, or the message in the heavy metal is making you evil? In this program of amusing and disquieting short films, it's all true. You're trapped, and these startling cinematic spectacles are your only escape.
