Mimesophobia
Written by Carlos Murillo
Directed by Margot Bordelon
February 28 - April 4, 2010

Carlos Murillo's Mimesophobia cuts between Hollywood and Hyde Park to weave a murder mystery for the reality-TV age. As a devastated woman reconstructs her murdered sister's diary, two screenwriters desperately try to spin tragedy into cinematic gold. Meanwhile, a deranged academic meditates on the American obsession with violence. In the middle of this dark and savagely funny collage lies the question: what compels us to open doors we know are better left unopened?
