Paper Spiders
Directed by Inon Shampanier
A bittersweet story about coming of age in the shadow of mental illness.
Dawn and Melanie’s loving and comically eccentric mother-daughter relationship has grown stronger following the passing of Melanie’s father. Their lives are soon disrupted when a menacing neighbor moves in next door. The neighbor is hellbent on stalking and tormenting Dawn, never leaving a shred of evidence to his crimes. Even the police and a seasoned private detective are duped by him. Melanie attempts to help Dawn catch him, but soon begins to wonder - is the threat real, or is it all in her mom’s head?…
