"I have to become him, exactly him!" Vertical Ent. has debuted an official trailer for the indie B&W drama Trauma is a Time Machine, which first premiered at the Art of Brooklyn Film Festival last year where it won Best Director. The intimate indie film is the feature directorial debut of Angelica Zollo, daughter of Barbara Broccoli, and it's based on her own short film as well. Trauma is a Time Machine explores a woman named Helen's self destruction & healing from the traumatic after effects of rape within her relationship. She goes through many different steps to try and distract herself including denial, anger, distractions, and a taking on of her perpetrator in order to try and understand what happened to her. Starring Augie Duke as Helen, Gabe Fazio, Elizabeth A. Davis, and Ella Loudon. Might be worth a look if it's playing near you.

A journey into agitated self... Can end up in so many ways ...

So here they come now with the 'latest thing' of B & W films shot in the 1.2:1 ratio like that suddenly makes them 'artistic' or 'special' or whatever. I'll pass on this one too.

This looks like a fantastic film! Really tough subject matter to broach, and seemingly done with great care and precision. I love a good arthouse film, and this one is next on my list! Brava, Angelica Zollo!
