Storyline

Fade is about personal identity, marriage, and death-sometimes all at once, sometimes separately. The first stirrings of the story come from a real, but strange illness; Fatal Familial Insomnia, when it appears, keeps a person awake round the clock until his body no longer functions and he dies. We used this as our starting point to look into the corners of strained relationships and see what dust death kicks up there. We want to see how wide the gulf between two people can get before they are finally on opposite sides. Death has its way of widening gaps, opening wounds. Our narrative technique is one of angles; we like to look at scenes sideways, from above or below, but never straight on. The effect is closer to a nightmare than to a bedtime story. Fade is a story of sleeplessness, told through a nightmare-the nightmare of dissipation, sorrow, and early death. Written by Anonymous
