Synopsis: This is a magical world where memory lasts only a few hours. While millions dig for their identity in their own “Book of Human Memory”, James instead, returns home to learn who his wife and daughter are. Liberated from the filters of memory, this is a fable about discovering trust and human connection in the present moment.

Professor Mick Hurbis-Cherrier’s co-authored book, Directing: Film Techniques and Aesthetics, 5ed. (with Michael Rabiger) which published in March 2013 received a very favorable reviewed by the Directors Guild of America in their DGA Quarterly publication (spring 2013).
