Abstract

This film seeks to utilize the mock documentary style of filmmaking to explore one man's struggle to find meaning in his life. Wally Skwarzek is a man with no home, no family, and no purpose. The only thing he manages to cling onto in his dreary existence is his prowess as a vampire hunter. THE WALL was shot on a Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR camera with a guerilla-like approach to filmmaking. While there are several comedic moments throughout the film's running time, THE WALL also seeks to explore what happens to a man when he has nothing left in life and is pushed to the brink of insanity by the harshness of the world.
