SHORT FILM SYNOPSIS:
A portrayal of a man gripped by exhilaration and hopelessness in Atlantic City?! The intention was just to create a visual and humorous look at this man being and feeling lost. I like to think of him being lost in the disparity between his exaggerated idea of himself and the sad reality. Then again, that’s only what I project on to it. There is not much more to it than a man walking around in a city.
