Addison Madeira is a nine year old boy coping with a terrible trauma. Refusing to speak and estranged from his mother, he creates a world of his own, hidden behind a blanket hanging from his bedroom wall.

Inspired by Hitchcock, Polanski, the original Twilight Zone, and shot in beautiful black and white, Addison’s Wall is a haunting, suspenseful drama about how children and adults create their own realities to cope with grief.

Addison's Wall explores children's ability to create their own, separate realities. Whether it is just play, or the need to cope with personal, unexplainable tragedy, children use their imaginations as a means of escape. I wanted to explore the dark side that this “magical reality” could have, and look at how our collective need to escape effects us and the people around us.
