Sculpting Fragments

Starting out as nothing but a drunken whim, filmmakers Guy and Dave, along with their bartender friend Kuromi, set out to explore the site of the brutal and mysterious murder of a young woman in a love hotel, an incident that took place twenty years prior. The trio make their way into the middle of nowhere to the town, which is rife with rumours of ghosts and curses, and the now abandoned building. They document their night in the murder room—a night that becomes a terrifying ordeal.

A man holds a woman in his dungeon, ties her up and suspends her from the ceiling. He then goes through the do's and don'ts of making a snuff film.

In the relentless heat of the gruelling summer, temperatures soar to blistering levels as cicadas emerge to sing their ear-shattering song. Months of continued exposure is enough to make anyone start to feel a little off. Anyone, that is, except that oddity the locals call ‘the Cicada Man’. Who is that strange man and why is he always walking around with boxes full of live cicadas? More important, what does he do with them? As the heat starts to get to our heroine, and her sanity depletes, real life and delusion begin to mix. Her darkest nightmares seep into our world and she fears the Cicada Man has planted his swarm of insects inside her. She must get them out – at all costs. Thus begins her downward spiral into extreme paranoia and self-mutilation. She just needs to make it through the summer.

Subject of a violent attack, a young woman becomes recluse. As her fear to leave home escalates, her paranoia begins to run wild. Now immersed within a pool of self-nurtured insanity, she slowly starts to drown.
