NERVOUS96 from Bill Domonkos on Vimeo.

Domonkos' complex chiaroscuro style marks a marriage between silent-era special effects master George Méliès and the digital age.

His new short "Nervous96" invokes a woman lonely, desperate, in debt, trying to connect in a desolate world overrun with technology.

An intense juxtapose of disconnect and emotion, there is next to no dialogue. The film is driven by the music. Domonkos was completely inspired by pianist Jill Tracy and violinist Paul Mercer’s “Musical Séance,” a live project that employs the duo’s astonishing channeled improvisations. Domonkos meticulously crafted excerpts from séance recordings to create the emotional voice of the character.

This seamless integration of film and music in “Nervous96” casts quite a powerful spell, embodying the spirit of classic suspense and science fiction.
