Ed Zimmer is a lonely, New York City tour guide who leads a double life. By day, he points out famous landmarks to wide-eyed tourists. But when Ed returns home at night, he is plagued by nightmares; disturbing visions of a child abduction which seem too real to be a figment of his imagination. Tortured by these thoughts, Ed ventures out into the gritty underbelly of New York City to investigate. After a dangerous encounter with a real life killer, Ed becomes obsessed with avenging the innocent and begins hunting down the murderers who haunt him in his sleep. Meanwhile, Ed attempts to maintain a romantic relationship with a Russian tourist named Lucya, who doesn’t know about his dark secret. As the vigilante killings escalate, Ed’s unhinged behavior makes Lucya fear that he is descending into madness.
OTHER MADNESSES is the debut feature film from writer/director Jeremy Carr. The gritty psychological thriller which reportedly “feels like a fever dream” that “effectively gets under your skin” (The Hollywood Reporter) premiered in New York City in March of 2015 at First Time Fest where lead actor James Moles was presented the award for “Outstanding Achievement in Acting.” Since then, the film has gone on to screen all around the country and internationally. It has won several more awards on the festival circuit, including “Best Feature Film” and “Best Produced Screenplay” at The Cape Fear Independent Film Festival, “Outstanding Cinematography” at the Arizona International Film Festival, “Best Performance” at the Orlando Film Festival, and “Best Director” at the West Side Film Festival in Los Angeles. The truly independent film took eight years to complete and can boast that it was shot in all five boroughs of NYC during all four seasons, including a finale that was captured during the record-breaking blizzard of 2010. The footage was nearly lost forever when Hurricane Sandy flooded the Brooklyn production studio with five feet of seawater.
