ASHEVILLE, NC — Zazie Productions proudly presents its latest cinematic venture, "Phantom Requiem" (2024), a riveting stop-motion film that in the desolate expanse of an abandoned factory, where shadows and silence are the only remnants of a once-thrumming industrial heartbeat. In this spectral setting, a coterie of puppets emerges—ethereal figures, each step and gesture echoing the dissonant unraveling of a viewer ensnared in a psychotic fugue.
Rendered in austere black-and-white, this stop-motion film marries the macabre grace of desolation with the intimate terror of mental dissolution, crafting a visual poem that is both stark and sublime.

The film delves deep into the realms of mental health, drawing on personal battles with psychosis, sensory overload, and autism. It offers a cathartic and visceral experience that lingers long after the screen fades to black. @WellMeaningNeurotypicals, his viral neurodivergent-oriented satire persona, is known for his subversive humorous mental health commentary through memes garnering 29.5k followers.
