PRECARIOUS I USA, 01:47:00 I Director: Weston Terray I Fantasy PG13 I WEBSITE

A young man searches for a cursed fortune in an inescapable 1960s dreamscape. A hand-built film that recalls an era of fantasy not reliant on digital effects. Involving a femme fatale or two, unconventional crystallography, addictive impulses, crippling disease and a labyrinth of irrational tight spots, this adventure is highly original. Starring: Andrey Pfening, Dashiell Hillman, Juliana Frick, Meriel Melendrez Mees. Original Score: Ben Eshbach

Precarious is a 1960s-style playbox of extremely claustrophobic straits from which its hemmed-in hero (Andrey Pfening) – first seen as a handcuffed patient in bed – keeps struggling to emerge.
