Koma Kid

Koma Kid plunges viewers head-long into the downward spiral of a protagonist caught between an accident-induced coma and mental dreamscapes and memories that unfold into new paths and possibilities.

 

The film unravels a visual puzzle of a teen skateboarder caught between life and death in an interior state that questions consciousness and reality. Reminiscent of Julian Schnabel's "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly", the anti-hero finds himself suspended in the deadlock labyrinth of coma that won't release him and forces him to look at what his soul throws at him.

 

Screaming while no one hears him – screaming until the voice is lost - in the deafening jungle of prohibitions.

 

It is then that the inner enemy becomes his best friend: loss – crimes – hurt – getting high – anger – running amok. What was left unspoken reappears in images, flashes. He realizes that what seemed lost is just forgotten – that there is a way – that in all key situations of his life he did have choices.

 

Alternative ways and different outcomes open up to him. How everything might have turned ouot if he had known to take the other path. Forgiveness. Feeling loved and heard. I can give it to myself. I’m ready now.

 

Awakening while caught in the coma.

 

Koma Kid is a film about silenced soulsas they erupt insisting to be heard though acting out, the loss of control and running amok.

 

It’s the story of a teenager who was bulldozed by life. With nowhere to go he froze his feelings. Only an accident can shake him up to look at himself and to learn to take care of himself.

 

Koma Kid reflects the numbness of us all. How we walk through life, feeling paralyzed, exposed and giving up the choices we all have. Coma Kid brings its protagonist to the breaking point where numbed emotions erupt and propel us into the loss of control where the only way out is to confront the sum of numbed feelings. This film wants to communicate understanding, forgiveness and hope. COMA paves the way to a place where one is able to take one’s life in it’s own hands again and transcend one’s challenges.
