This film is about inhabiting other people's memories.  No, this isn't Inception.  Tom Jacobs invents a machine that allows a person to enter the mind of another, and experience his or her memories.  No, this isn't Inception.  When something goes wrong, he's trapped in the mind of another, unable to escape.  No, this isn't Inception.  Can he find a way to escape and get back to the real world?  No, this isn't Inception, it's better, because the film solves its dilemmas via engaging character interaction and growth, rather than special effects and running around a lot through a city.

Writer and first-time director Nir Paniry wrote the first draft of the script in 2008.  When Inception came out, as he put it, he "fucking freaked out".  And yet they were able to finish the film and bring it to the festival market.  I don't know if it will get distribution, but I'm quite pleased to have had an opportunity to see it.
