Springtime in Greenland

Directed by John Paizs

Logline: Nick wears a gloomy cloud despite the sunny spring weather in John Paizs' first film in his Three Worlds of Nick trilogy.

Synopsis: A lifetime of suburbia in a half hour, Springtime in Greenland uses '50s cinematic conventions to tell a story about the sophomoric inhabitants of a fictional utopia. Meet Nick. He's silent, aloof and straining against suburban values.
