The Plant
A struggling theatre company is losing money on a disastrous production of Agamemnon. Desperate, and without telling the cast, the Manager brings in a professional Plant - someone who sits in the audience and uses their subliminal and hypnotic influence to convince everyone that they're seeing a great show.
Everything works for a while - until the Plant notices that, despite his "enjoyment" of the show, people still seem to be bored by it. He realizes that there can be only one answer - the theatre company has an "Anti-Plant" working against them. It is up to the Plant to find his invisible foe and take him on in a showdown to make the production successful.
2001, mini-DV, 31 min.
