DEAD STILL
a film by connor lang
"I see the deep end" is a bohemian love story set in the trials of street musician and young father, Parker. He may have the biological role of dad, but his embrace to the responsibility of his son Benjamin, is a far cry from natural occurring. His girlfriend, only marginally out of adolescents herself, adds the weight of responsibility on his shoulders and his tendency to self-medicate threatens their stability.
When Alexis finds out that she is pregnant, Parker begins a night of true introspection and tribulation.

the world
The urban life is busy, crowded, and the there is always room to get lost in the endless possibilities of potential chaos. "I see the deep end" is set against the back drop of Vancouver's West End. Unlike some of the poverty stricken neighborhoods of YVR, the West End is known for the quiet maple trees, eccentric tourists, and gorgeous natural views. Those who do fall below the poverty line are few and far between and find their place on a very thin strip of Denman St. between Robson & Davie.
A cityscape after dark is filled with all sorts of characters and stories.
