MNEMONICA
IN DEVELOPMENT
serious comedy | short film
Logline: An experimental musician with writers block struggles to find the root of her problem - she’s close - it’s on the tip of her tongue and it’s keeping her from expressing herself sincerely. Fixated on a brutal review that shook her confidence and frustrated by her lack of progress toward the future she hoped to build, a song connected to a memory she can’t quite place becomes a conduit for change - to reclaim her appreciation of the now.
MNEMONICA, the short film, is a proof of concept for a feature - an off-beat 90 minute film that’s rich, dense, and a treat to watch. Punchy like Slackers is to Linklater, The Following is to Nolan, or River of Grass is to Kelly Reichardt. The film is punctuated by over 30 music cues from independent artists that are tied in to the story as diegetic music - happening in the story world. Episodic, extremely character driven, strange and surreal, Mnemonica is for those who feel alienated by the present, struggle to be in the moment, and for artists who have experienced subconscious blocks in their creative process.
