REALITY IS DEAD! LONG LIVE REALITY!



Artificial celebrities, trapped on screen, confront what it means to be truly present — only to reveal reality itself as a script, cracking before our eyes.



"NOT NOW" is a feature mockumentary on what it means to be "present".

A documentary and fiction simultaneously, the film features 10 fictional celebrities discussing contemporary topics, and reflecting on "presence". 

One-on-one interviews interspersed with cinematic footage unravel as the juxtaposition of diverse perspectives present an expanding view.


"NOT NOW" questions foundations so what's a better point to start with but the present itself?
