Project Overview
Lambent Fuse is a Minnesota based feature length film that illustrates human connection and choice. By exploring the depths of kleptomania, depression, and obsession, this film works to expose often underrepresented or misunderstood conditions of the human mind.

Interactive Synopsis *
LAMBENT FUSE is a character-driven drama that illustrates human connection and choice. This complex narrative unfolds in a non-chronological timeframe as the lives of these six main characters intertwine.

Freddie Goone (Rhett Romsaas) plunges into a detached world full of regret after recent and tragic events trigger his slide into depression. Allison Swanson ’s (Emily Fradenburgh) kleptomania undermines her ability to hold a job and maintain a relationship with an emotionally detached and swiftly sinking Freddie. Paul Dobbler (Eric Hanson), a mysterious chef, takes it upon himself to meddle in the life of a woman with whom he’s deeply infatuated. Phillip Richter (Matthew Feeney) seeks to overcome allegations that threaten his long sought promotion as police captain. Keith Malone (Nick Hansen) and Vincent Becker (Dan Eckman-Thomas) embark on a series of robberies that land them in a situation that is way over their heads.

As the lives of these characters meld together, the consequences of their seemingly straightforward choices result in unpredictable and dynamic outcomes.

Project Goal
The overall goal of Lambent Fuse is to shift the paradigm of the stereotypical mental conditions shown in mainstream cinema by portraying the reality of mental illness and human choices in an eye-opening and innovative manner. The careful illustration of each character’s true emotions and actions will showcase the psychological landscape in an educational and insightful way. This will give the audience a unique opportunity to experience the conditions along with the characters, forcing viewers to challenge their preconceived notions about mental illness and to approach the conditions with more understanding and empathy.
