Randy Walker and Jennifer Shainin have created a work that, both in its form and content, is organized entirely differently from a conventional film. Their universe is a fragmented, cubistic one where characters’ identities won’t be reduced to cinematic sound bites and their relationships with each other keep shifting and changing. Characters move through a half-comical, half-absurd dreamscape of crowded gatherings, surprising parallels, uncanny linkages, and altered perspectives – as if the shape–shifting of the masks we wear and identities we assume on Halloween were able to liberate the magic in the mundane.
