This was filmed at OSU (my alma mater.) It fact, it reminds me of one of my old apartments there...maybe that is why I am so drawn to it... Anyway, it was produced by someone named Ian Jones. He seems pretty cool. You probably have a great future ahead of you in producing Ian..whoever you are and where ever you are....good luck to you!!!!!! You are very creative...the world needs more talented people like you...thanks for sharing your gift!!!
I would like to get a copy....looks cool...click below on the blue word "viz." to see the trailer.

This quote is for you Ian. Don't worry about what the world wants from you, worry about what makes you come more alive. Because what the world really needs are people who are more alive. Your real job is to increase the color and zest of your life.
— Lawrence LeShan quoted in The Seeker's Guide by Elizabeth Lesser
Viz.
viz., a dry, deadpan comedy about the disillusionment, ennui and anomie of life andidentity in the (post-?)postmodern era, actively resists synopsis, but here goes:
Adam, Emma, Jack, Mike, and Renee share an apartment and generally live lives of
boredom punctuated by bits of absurdity. viz. presents moments from a 52-hour
period in all of their lives, in which each makes small steps towards a greater
consciousness of themselves and others, navigating a harsh maze of opinions,
philosophies and politics in an attempt to coexist as cohabitants. Tensions and
allegiances shift and dissolve as the five both erupt into hemorrhaging conversation
and suffer through long awkward silences (in nearly equal amounts). Together, they
tackle such esoteric, though nevertheless pertinent, philosophical problems such as
the morality of living in a repressive society, the problems inherent in language as a
system of ideologically-tainted representation, and whether or not to reheat quiche.
An exercise in gleefully inefficient storytelling, viz. ventures that no awkward moment
can be stretched too far, and that sometimes it is the most seemingly insignificant
details in life that carry the most weight.
Filmed August 10th - August 25th and October 8th - October 11th 2005
