An old man, aided by a boy, attempts to escape death by fleeing into the night, entering a world of folklore and myth on the dark streets of New York City.

Experimental Narrative, 1997   Length: 27 minutes   Director: Erik Knight   Distribution:   KJM3 Entertainment Group   462 Broadway, Suite 510   New York, NY 10013   212-334-4402   Fax: 212-925-3482 Premiere: Sunday, July 26, 1998 11pm, on Thirteen/WNET. (Repeat: Tuesday, July 28, 1998 12:30am.)

A journey into the night is pictured here as the two travelers, Honus and Rono, are taken for a fantastical ride through the city meeting "spirit people" along the way. This film is a dark and exquisite depiction of the ways that death beckons. Using such metaphors as a butterfly trapped in a glass jar to evoke our the fears of losing our freedom, being too contained, and ultimately not having the possibility to live and breathe, Knight takes us into the netherworld and back again.
