How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A darkly funny and achingly human portrait of a struggling filmmaker's relentless pursuit of his horror project, watched with sympathetic humor as his life spirals around his singular vision. It's both a love letter to artistic determination and a gentle critique of what ambition can cost.
