Occam's Beard: Early Version
The simplest answer is rarely correct.
A former child star spirals as he becomes convinced that the people he loves most have been replaced by impostors. This listing represents an early 2025 production version of Occam’s Beard that was later withdrawn from active production. Following the withdrawal of that version, the creator returned to the original treatment and developed an entirely new screenplay from the ground up. The new screenplay received Best Short Screenplay honors at the Big Apple Film Festival (2025), along with recognition from multiple international screenplay competitions, and as of May 2026 is shortlisted for the Cannes Film Awards.
