Description
Cast: Jesse Wakeman, Jess Barbagallo, John Magary
A fortysomething failed filmmaker reluctantly takes a carpentry job renovating the second home of his former college friend in this wry satire of the current gig economy. One of the more unique-looking and destabilizing American indies in recent memory, The Misconceived was created with an uncanny-valley combination of motion capture and 3D animation, rendered within a video game engine.
