Chicago – Director Tirf Alexius is one of the most ardent filmmakers a person will meet. He believes succinctly in his new film “Critical Nexus,” and is anticipating a sold out premiere in Chicago on Friday, September 13th. The gritty new movie thriller is a intriguing departure in the micro-budget film category.
“Critical Nexus” refers to the ultimate crossroad when uncommon elements are destined to come together. In this case it is a 16 year old video blogger, a former internet developer and a random mass killer. The film is a departure because it comments on current technologies and the “connections’ those technologies make. It speaks to how the lack of personal interaction is a dangerous and often deadly obsession.
