The Creators

by Alexander Attea

FULL LENGTH: Deirdre, Piper, and Will work for a mysterious artistic prodigy named Gene, creating all the works of art he claims as his own. Also, they're not really ever allowed to leave the office. So when the new employee, Jess, starts trying to change the way things are done, it looks like their lives are about to finally improve. But it soon becomes clear that enacting change isn't always easy to do.

    “

    A compelling, slightly absurdist meditation on art, authorship, and authenticity. Utz manages a careful, slightly surreal tone and sustains it throughout; I loved the subtle implications of the world outside this artistic studio that are left unsettlingly ambiguous.
