>Pre-Life Crisis 2001-2004 > > >July 2004. A young and ambitious man is enjoying the high life, unwinding after coming to the end of his degree course where he has achieved a high level of academic success whilst simultaneously basking in the limelight of college society. The world is full of possibilities and resembles a metaphorical shellfish. What to do now? For a while our hero is content to chill-out and unwind. After all, surely he deserves a break after nearly twenty years of study? Unhappy with the prospect of old-fashioned 9-5 office work and 'respectability' he embarks upon an alternative track - using his temping assignment at a hi-tech media firm to fund him as he lives the dream in a whirlwind of drugs, booze, lust and sleep deprivation until finally things start to unravel and his world is sent spiralling into the abyss. > > >Crude and colourful, quirky and aggressive, 'Pre-Life Crisis' is a darkly humourous look at the expectations of 21st century society and a warning of the cost of living the 'buy now - pay later' lifestyle. As with all good movies official merchandise is available so you can take a little piece of the project home with you. > >Click here to view 'Pre-Life Crisis'. > > >'Pre-Life Crisis' features the poem 'Pauses' by Helen Clarke, © 2002. >All images and other content © James W.
