Heartpocalypse

Director: Matthew Silver

The story of a crazed ranting doomsayer, takes place underneath an elevated subway track in the heart of Brooklyn. He's got the cardboard sign scrawled with nonsensical ramblings and the wild-eyed hysteria. The passers-by give him dirty looks or no looks at all. Suddenly, the preacher has visions of giant, menacing creatures coming for him. An internal battle that seems to never end. Fortunately an Angelic spirit gives this lonely fool compassion, which triggers an emotional epiphany. Love is now.
