The Tower

The Tower

2026 · 97 min

RELIGION OF MESS. A kaleidoscopic tapestry of colorful characters collide in a small Iowa town. Runaway children make a movie, aging idealists hatch a dangerous plan, aimless townie girls get into mischief, a mysterious mother digs for buried treasure, and shirtless man ponders the meaning of the town’s towers. Spooky, serendipitous resonances bubble up between stories where people play themselves in fictionalized as well as real life scenarios. In a world in crisis, filmmaking itself becomes a form of coping and celebration.

MovieDocumentaryAnimation
An experimental animated documentary based on an anonymous interview with a US Army veteran who served in Afghanistan. The interview deals with the traumatic experiences of war and the difficulties of returning to civilian life—both through what is recounted, and in the gaps of what can never be said. The imprecise and fragmentary animation style incorporates drawn and stop motion animation shot on a very small “macro” scale (16 mm X 9 mm).
