ZOOEY AND ADAM

Adam and Zooey have been unsuccessfully trying to get pregnant for seven months, then end up pregnant after a rape. Unsure of the parentage of their child, they decide to have him anyway. A one-man film, Zooey & Adam is one step beyond microcinema in a form called solo cinema. The crew is composed of one person. The actors have no idea what the script is, and are surprised on-camera with events to which they react with absolute authenticity. Solo cinema explores the grey area between fiction and documentary by crafting a series of chronological situations, putting actors in those situations, and documenting what they do.

Sean Garrity
Director

The press has referred to Sean Garrity’s work as “possessing a dark, twisted beauty” (Georgia Strait) and has compared it to that of David Cronenberg (Globe & Mail), and even Luis Buñuel (San Jose MetroActive). His first two feature films, Lucid and INerTia, have won many awards and played at more than 40 festivals, including the Toronto International Film Festival, South by Southwest, and the Shanghai International Film Festival. Garrity's short films have also received accolades from around the world, and been sold to distributors and broadcasters on four continents.

Zooey & Adam is his third feature film.
