Stimuli is a multi-media short film that follows the life, death, and rebirth of a troubled college student struggling with stimulant addiction and the hold it has on him. The project is all filmed on a 7.5mm lens and features a soundtrack produced by Ian Kligora. In the film, the student passes away and has an afterlife experience that makes him come to terms with his addictions. During this after-life experience, he hears from other people just like him about their own struggles with addiction and the hold it has on them. This after-life experience gives the student a new outlook on life and maybe even a second chance to play it.
