A fake Cronenberg making a film that eats its own director alive. Meta-horror at its most contagious.
David Cronenberg (the well-known Canadian director's American film-student counterpart) is making an ambitious "neorealist video feature" entitled "Wireless Internet", a didactic horror film about a contagious mind virus. The project gradually morphs into something well beyond the realm of fiction.
Direction
Gross blurs documentary and delusion until you can't tell which Cronenberg is which.
Writing
Script collapses into the very virus it pretends to fictionalize.
Editing
77 minutes that feel like you're being slowly consumed by your own screen.
Director
John Gross

The 'neorealist video feature' format was Gross's deliberate attempt to make a genre film that genre couldn't contain.
