KURT // Casting Four Parts for UW Student Film
About the project and the company
A young man named Dan comes home one night to find himself cornered by his mother, Karen, and his therapist, Dr. Sessler. With suspicion that Dan has stopped taking his medications that help him with his psychosis, Karen and Dr. Sessler have decided to give him an intervention. Dan’s alternate personality, Kurt, is a direct result of Dan’s ceased medication intake. Kurt in no way wants Dan to resume his medication, and attempts to sway the situation to his wishes.
