FABLE
(2015)
An Emily Terndrup & Derrick Belcham Production
FABLE depicts a revelatory encounter between a man and a mysterious voice who, over the course of a surreal and increasingly volatile evening, explore the variable boundary between delusion and actuality.
"It's a must-see, especially for anyone who considers themselves part of New York City's creative class... A meditation on the creative force - how it tortures and rewards, and how it can feel like a kind of madness... What Terndrup and Belcham have to say about the creative process is both painful and beautiful..." -The Village Voice
