HEY YOU BROKEN MAN
A short film, 2013
Written & Directer by Roberto Prestia
When enduring an identity or existential crisis, I always had this fun habit of exposing it to the audience, through a film or any other available medium.
It sure is embarrassing and often people don't understand why would one even dare doing such a thing.
But it is cathartic. And it is genuine.
Most of fall, it is not self-indulgence. People can relate to it because it is true, honest, genuine,
'Hey You Broken Man' was so much fun to make. The script could be described as a 15 pages sequence of insults to myself, adapted into a surreal and theatrical scenario.
The film was set to be a nightmarish show where two mysterious men torment the main character and a cruel crowd watch and enjoy his public humiliation.
I find the result to be a somewhat unripe film which uncovers the seeds of a lot of the themes that, later on, I went on developing.
