The Linear of Nightmare(en)

Linear of Nightmare is a tongue and cheek piece about the pointless of fear. The film is a surreal self-inflicted mental infliction that ultimately leads to its own demise.

Worry is pointless. It is wasted mental energy. It also creates bio-chemical reactions that harm the body, producing everything from indigestion to coronary arrest, and a multitude of things in between.
