Disquiet  

“A remarkable self-made film that is as witty and intelligent as it is unnervingly creepy, Disquiet is an all-too-uncommon example of what was once the vision at the dawn of the digital video age - that any potential filmmaker with talent and desire could grab a camera, corral a few friends and create a masterpiece.” - Douglas Pratt

People often observe others surreptitiously (but only if they think nobody is watching). Nobody wants their privacy violated, yet most of us have violated the privacy of others at one time or another. DisquietA strange level of intimacy is forged with those we observe - and sometimes what we don't know about them, we create in our imaginations.

But what if imagination fails? What if it is a struggle for you to comprehend the most basic human interactions? What if you're so alone that your personality has dissolved like sugar in hot coffee? Darren Prager is an aspiring writer who finds himself completely unable to comprehend the intricacies of human behavior. Obsessed with finding the key to understanding the nature of character, he turns a co-worker's family into the unwitting subjects of his new project. His humanity is tested when he goes beyond observational research into the realm of gross violation.
