Melancholy Baby is a drama/thriller short film, written and directed by Sean Hood, and starring Patrick Labyorteaux, who plays a man suffering from both agoraphobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The film is notable for its creative use of sound design.[1]

Although its official premiere was at the Garden State Film Festival in 2009, the film screened at the Directors Guild of America as part of a gala fund raiser for Filmmakers Alliance.[2]

Plot

Zachariah Block is a shut-in who spends much of his day compulsively sorting and resorting ordinary objects into jars. His routine changes when a woman moves into the apartment next door. By listening to her movements through the walls and watching her through a vent, he becomes drawn into her life. When he senses that she is in danger, this very eccentric and alienated character overcomes his debilitating fears, summons up a small act of genuine courage, and saves his neighbors life.

Production

The screenplay for Melancholy Baby was developed in a workshop sponsored by Filmmakers Alliance. The script went on to win The Los Angeles Short Filmmaking Grant. Using a crew made up primarily of Filmmakers Alliance members, the film was shot over the course of a single weekend. It was shot on the Red One, a camera made by the Red Digital Cinema Camera Company.
