Liam White's career has peaked—to put it kindly. Uninspired and burnt-out, the titular character loses his will to finish his next novel and even shirks his public appearance commitments. To top it all off, Liam is told by his oncologist that his cancer has returned. Resigned to the fact that his life will soon come to an end, he begins a journey of reflection as he comes to grips with his life thus far and the people who shaped him, for better and worse.
Acting
Shaun Woodland's silences hit harder than any monologue.
Writing
Meta-narrative blurs Liam's novel with his actual life beautifully.
Director
Harold Jackson III
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

The 4-minute unbroken take of Liam burning his advance check was improvised after Woodland suggested the character wouldn't speak.
