Story Outline:

Otto awakes in a field; alone and miles from the nearest settlement. His confusion turns to terror when he realizes someone is shooting at him. What follows is a thrilling, nightmarish chase to outrun or outwit the unknown predator, until finally he realizes that what destroys us, is what we fear the most.

Biofilmography of the Director:

Fogg is a neurotic, balding and occasionally happy man with a passion for hats. He enjoys Ambrosia Devon custard and the feeling of a tube passing under your feet and dislikes licorice Flavored Jelly beans and single decker buses. He grew up in London, was over-educated in Wiltshire, and spent time selling himself in New York before returning to our nation's capital to make films. Otto is his third effort. The first ('Falling Slowly') won an audience award at an obscure French festival (it was kind of 'arty') and the second ('Earthquake') is yet to be released. He hopes you enjoy the film because, if not, he'll have to go back to his other means of earning money and he's only got the one kidney left.
