Fade to Black

In this dark character study, we follow the journey of an introverted cinephile struggling with loneliness and societal disconnection. As he becomes increasingly alienated from those around him, his fragile mental state is further strained by the cruel treatment he endures, both physical and emotional. However, hope arrives in the form of a Marilyn Monroe lookalike who captures his heart and imagination. This obsession transforms his violence into a twisted quest for connection with his idolized muse. The film explores themes of love, isolation, and the blurry line between fantasy and reality, as it delves into the psyche of an ordinary man pushed to extreme lengths by society's rejection.
