Trailer and Synopsis
OUT OF THE WOODS (2015/recut in 2021; 87 min.) An Uncommon Love Story. Sharing his life story with a documentary filmmaker, a former professional mentalist confides how he temporarily died after a terrible accident and was resurrected with an uncanny talent for reading minds. What he failed to mention was how an imaginary friend from his childhood, a mischievous feminine entity, brought him back to life by embodying herself through him -- as a Mindreader in Reno, Nevada. OUT OF THE WOODS follows one man’s rite of passage down the rabbit hole of haunted dreams and childhood memories to find his one true love.

"A provocative endeavor that mixes
mysticism
with sharp satire
and rueful emotional drama,
the
result is a
profound
statement
on
how we see ourselves
and how we want to be perceived by others."
- Phil Hall for Cinema Crazed
