THE ZONE Spotlight

In the final film of this trilogy, films are nesting within other films, not so much breaking the fourth wall as pushing its boundaries beyond reality. THE ZONE finds Joe Swan berg virtually playing himself, a filmmaker who puts beautiful women into frank and sexual situations. As the emotions in the films within films rise, the real-world emotional stakes for the characters are raised on every level, often exploding into brute physicality. These three films function as unique time capsules capturing on artist wrestling with his complex conflicts , all the while struggling to have his art catch up with his actual emotional development.
