'Dissonance'... “A tension or clash resulting from the combination of two disharmonious or unsuitable elements.” The very meaning of the word foreshadows what to expect in Kevin Blake Goodwin’s short film addressing rampant substance abuse among musicians. Set to Goodwin’s namesake progressive instrumental soundtrack, the dark and haunting story chronicles a drug addiction journey of a musician told through visual symbolism in a thriller, nightmare setting. The film delves into the pervasive issues of addiction while engaging in the music scene as well as the inner spiritual warfare of addiction. The journey ends with a strong message of hope, help, and redemption for those who seek help and recovery.
