The Organs of Speech
Short FilmAn examination of various hierarchies, Mason Thorne's "The Organs of Speech" plays with the first-person narrative by trading places between Abe, recently discharged from rehab, and Isaac, his estranged son. Questions of loyalty, trust, and honesty plague their efforts at reconnection. The tension reaches a tipping point as Isaac reveals to his father the very thing he was running away from: the voices. The result is an experiential trip--a tug of war--between father & son, junkie & family member, cameraman & subject.
"Very distinct and intriguing style and voice.“
- Dances With Films Film Festival LA
“The tension in not knowing who's on the other side of Abe's efforts at reconnection explodes in violence, both physical & emotional.“
