Subconscious Password

Directed by Chris Landreth · Starring Don McKellar, Ron Pardo, Patrice Goodman, Ray Landry · 2013

A man runs into an acquaintance at a party and blanks on his name, triggering a frantic, surreal game show deep in his subconscious as his mind scrambles to retrieve it.

From the maker of the Oscar-winning 'Ryan', a hilariously surreal dive into the panic of forgetting someone's name.

In this short animation, Oscar®-winning director Chris Landreth uses a common social gaffe—forgetting somebody’s name—as the starting point for a mind-bending romp through the unconscious.
