   USHER's Blurbs
About me:


A young hit man falls on hard times and gets a job as an usher in a movie theatre. He can't handle it. He finds himself faced with the everyday frustrations of the workplace, and embroiled in the petty romances and power struggles of the high-school-aged employees. Unable to comprehend the unique social and moral rules of this environment, he begins to break down and lose touch with reality. Eventually his presumed training as a killer resurfaces as his last defense.

On the surface, USHER is a "genre-based" drama (the story of a "hit man in hiding"), but placed in a controlled, determined, work-based setting (a movie theatre), to explore the quieter reaches of the genre. It's by turns romantic, a thriller, and a meditation on art (it does take place in a movie theatre), its consumption and presumptions.
