Not many times do you get the chance to take the spark that inspired you to go on to create a film from start to finish and be involved in every single process in the life of the film.
With Stroker, Austin got a chance to do just that.
Phil Stroker wakes up in a world of cubicles and florescent lights. His
co-workers shout at him for being too slow. He can no longer connect to
his wife in a meaningful way. No one treats him with any respect. One
day after work, Phil walks into the water and swims home. For the first
time in his life, he finds something that he is good at. And as he
explores deeper and deeper into this new world, Phil may find out that
the world he has been living in, for so long, is not his rightful place.
It seems like the creative writer is speaking from experience and it's not about the water theme.
Now it's time to show it off and see the metaphor on screen.
My film STROKER, which I wrote and directed, premieres at the HollyShorts Film Festival on August 20 at noon. I hope you like it. - AUS10
