WHAMMY!, Los Angeles

Travel through the depths of a deranged mind and experience first hand the violent hallucinations of an incarcerated psychiatric patient. Trapped within the confines of his white cell, Jeffrey Prior (Michael Todd Schneider) struggles with his deteriorating grasp on reality while his psychiatrist, Dr. Nathaniel Beck (Eric James), tries to unravel the secrets behind his daughter’s brutal rape and murder. ‍ The SOV directorial debut from the notoriously transgressive, Pittsburgh based writer / director Michael Todd Schneider aka magGot (August Underground’s Mordum, The Profane Exhibit, …and Then I Helped), My Crepitus is a hypnotic and surreal, lo-fi analog fever dream that seemlessly collides at the intersection of extreme underground gore and experimental video art. Like a cursed transmission from an abhorrent alien universe, My Crepitus is a gore-drenched amalgamation of Inland Empire, Begotten, and Alien Beasts set to an abrasive and disorienting cacophony of sound which Rue Morgue magazine described as “akin to smashing your teeth into the coffee table for ninety minutes”. ‍ ‍ ‍ **dir.
