The Wide Open Project
The lonely life of an artist, told through the music made under self-destructive circumstances. The Wide Open Project is an experimental visual album about the upcoming artist, Zinity. The film connects emotions, separated over three individually written songs which, when combined, represents escapism from depression. In the short film, a cruel world is seen from the perspective of an insecure artist. For a creative, creating is equal to addiction. How do you deal with having a part of yourself, that you are doomed to destroy?

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
