At the Seams/Jouissance [2021]
A silly little thesis film with a silly little premise:
Cody, a lonely and isolated individual, finds a CRT TV in a dumpster. As he starts to interact with the TV, he discovers that he has the ability to enter the world displayed on the screen. Once he explores this new world, he begins to form connections with the characters on the screen and starts to find the happiness and fulfillment that has been missing in his own life.
