Constriction Films
Definition: Constriction is a story engine in which the drama comes from what the world takes away rather than from what the character becomes: the walls close in, the options run out, and we learn what is left in a person. Their core essence. It can teach us just as much about humanity as transformation stories can, but from a different viewpoint.
We write and produce films that highlight the constriction framework described in the "Turn the Screws" books by Scott Zimmerman
