Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One

In Manhattan's Central Park, a film crew directed by William Greaves shoots a screen test with various pairs of actors, including Patricia Ree Gilbert as Self - Actress Testing for Alice and Don Fellows as Self - Actor Testing for Freddy. The crew documents the confrontation between the couple, a discussion of the scene's language, and the process of making a movie. The film crew's discussions, distractions, and interactions with passers-by capture the nature of making a movie, as Greaves himself appears as the director of a fictional documentary, often inept and sexist. The film's experimental style, with split screens displaying multiple perspectives, adds to its complex and layered storytelling.
