	"Joseph, Paul and Mary"

Director Statement We were full time high school teachers and erstwhile writers leveraged to the hilt in a tanking real estate market. As unsold scripts piled up, we decided that if anyone was ever going to make one of our movies, it would probably have to be us. Using our families and neighbors as actors, we decided to go for it over two weekends in April. We got tremendous help from our fellow school teachers (frustrated writers and filmmakers all), and the people of Idyllwild embraced the production and gave us access to great locations. Based on two characters from a completed feature script, "Limbo Lane" explores what we call the "fallacy of logic": the inability of people to make sense out of what happens in life. As the pace of the world accelerates, efforts to control ourselves and our environment become increasingly extreme. The millennial man and woman desperately attempt to rationalize events and construct systems to explain happenstance. This is what is at the core of what we call " the new comedy." People, no matter how grounded in the rational, are only a circumstance away from abandoning long cherished propositions and embracing new beliefs. The triumph of the Enlightenment and the scientific revolution of the last century and a half provide only a thin veneer of reason to protect fragile humans from life's throes. The bad news: When that veneer gives way, psychological and philosophical chaos results. The good news: It's always good for a laugh.
