Opening the Vein

The clacking of a typewriter. The hum of the city far below. A knock on the door. Judith Moore sits alone in her hotel room which she has fashioned as her own, and attempts to write. Judith's inner world clashes with reality as she seeks the middle ground between pleasing herself and living up to the standards of others. Opening the Vein examines the fractured ego behind the creative force, using the fictional character of Judith Moore as a vessel to navigate the emotionally complex and often terrifying emotional terrain of the creative process.
