DUCKS IN A ROW (JULY 2020) - SHORT FILM WRITTEN & DIRECTED BY JADEN PAYNE
Ducks in a Row serves the purpose of creatively enlightening viewers on the hardships of mental illness, more specifically Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), to represent OCD correctly in an aesthetically jarring manner, telling the story of what a day, week, and month of OCD looks and feels like, getting in depth and placing the viewer in the mind of the victim with both visual and conceptual intent.
With this film, I was invited to the IOCD Foundation’s film festival, which was held online in 2020. You can view the event here.
