Before the Story Starts

Inspired by The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Being John Malkovich, and Alan Watts, master storyteller Thomas Dudkiewicz travels through the subconscious of the universe in search of answers. The story, which is not yet a story, has a surreal structure full of cryptic hosts, capricious guides, and philosophical dead ends. As he meets his alter ego(s), he unravels the story of the why: why does he tell stories? How does meaning arise? And what happens when we are confronted with the possibility that there is no answer?
