🪐 You are entering a fictional zone: reality has been suspended.

More About The Filmmakers:
On one side of the coin, GARRETT is the detailed oriented, science obsessed storehouse (or trash can, depending on what day you ask him) of bizarre facts and fantastic yarns.
On the flip side BEN is a creative generalist and lover of the extreme. Smitten by art that takes experimental swings, BEN enjoys noise ‘music’, long takes, and David Lynch.
BEN's focus is on overarching goals, ensuring GARRETT’S fine-tuned inspiration is as expansive as it is complete.
