Robert Newsome will host a screening of the 2022 film Open Doom Crescendo by breakout Montreal DIY filmmaker Terry Chiu. Chiu’s goal when creating films is to explore the deteriorating future that modern young people face. Through his production company, Crescendo Angst Cinevision, Chiu has created a feature that explores the hyper anxiety of this subject. Open Doom Crescendo centers around a group of warriors who travel through an apocalyptic wasteland in search of an Oz-like figure called the Embodiment of Angst. This figure can supposedly answer life’s biggest unanswered questions. The film is a lo-fi saga stretching three hours in length and fantastically created on a small budget.
