Well, not that the friend is all that imaginary. In fact, to some he is very real indeed. They create a virtual world between them; a safe haven where they fluctuate between game and reality. However, their world is undermined and begins to crumble when the boy is warned of the dangers of an online stranger. He is forbidden to speak to Reiner ever again, and that is when the game turns nasty. We fall through the layers of a psychopathic mind, encountering the lives of the others affected by their liaison. Another dimension is the continual interference of Death as a woman, Life as a man and the Wind; who all take a vested interest in this particular human scenario and its many repercussions. Background: Tea in a Thunder Cup; written and directed by Alison Williams; could be boiled down to love, hate, life and death with all of its human counterparts. Yet there are not only humans involved and we get to witness the most fantastic animations by Norwegian artist Ulf Kristiansen. We are also fed by the interpretations and collaboration work of a host of talented international artists and Filmmakers who help to produce a mindscape to drown in. The emphasis is on art, with the combination of reality and imaginary realms at the fore, promising to be an intriguing ride. Filmed and co-produced in Mexico, USA, Portugal, Germany, RSA, Italy, UK, Australia, Argentina, Norway, Denmark and Sweden. The contributing artists are Ulf Kristiansen, Richard Jochum, Christopher Borkowski, Danny Germansen, Joas Sebastian Nebe, Anders Weberg, Michael Douglas Hawk, Lizet Benrey, Larry Caveney, Bill Millett, Glenn Church, Neil Howe, Icetrip Stvz, Victor Martinez, Germán Britch, Verena Stenke Pagnes and Andrea Pagnes, William Esdale and Alberto Guerreiro. They all help to provoke that special magical essence which makes the twist in this unusual tale.

During this time in my life I was falling into an almost schizophrenic darkness and Louis was the only person that could aid in my psychological recovery. Louis was also finding it hard to cope with his addiction to alcohol and depression. In these times we often cry for help in different ways and forms, I choose to use film and poetry as a means of self expression. http://www.williamesdale.com/Father-Series-I-II-III http://www.williamesdale.com/following/williamesdale.com/Father-Series-I-II-III Tue, 03 Jan 2012 22:03:13 +0000 William Esdale 882530 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father003_620.jpg" border="0" width="619" height="423" width_o="619" height_o="423" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father003_620_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father004_620.jpg" border="0" width="633" height="423" width_o="633" height_o="423" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father004_620_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father005_620.jpg" border="0" width="626" height="423" width_o="626" height_o="423" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father005_620_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father006.jpg" border="0" width="317" height="423" width_o="317" height_o="423" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father006_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father007_620.jpg" border="0" width="564" height="423" width_o="564" height_o="423" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father007_620_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father008.jpg" border="0" width="317" height="423" width_o="317" height_o="423" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father008_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father012.jpg" border="0" width="288" height="423" width_o="288" height_o="423" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father012_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father016.jpg" border="0" width="276" height="423" width_o="276" height_o="423" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father016_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father017.jpg" border="0" width="287" height="423" width_o="287" height_o="423" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father017_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father019.jpg" border="0" width="280" height="423" width_o="280" height_o="423" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father019_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father022.jpg" border="0" width="294" height="423" width_o="294" height_o="423" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father022_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father023.jpg" border="0" width="297" height="423" width_o="297" height_o="423" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father023_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father027.jpg" border="0" width="295" height="423" width_o="295" height_o="423" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/35746/882530/B-W Father027_o.jpg" align="left" /> Father: Series I / II / III 2006.
