Plot

Mikey- A lazy, troubled and closeted university student decides to use the "Dreamweaver"; a device used to undo the potentially harmful ideologies and habits he has gathered throughout his life.

A nightmarish and surreal exploration into the depths of toxic masculinity, Ctrl Alt Del is a gut-wrenching journey into depths and horrors of a troubled teen's psyche. Mikey- A lazy, troubled and closeted university student begins to troll and abuse women over social media and is reminded of a device he received from his father called the Dreamweaver. Its promise is alluring; be your best self. Fulfill your dreams. Its cost; reconciling your past and vices. The old ways of escaping and dulling the pain- from pharmaceuticals to porn- aren't working, and he decides to try the device. Thus begins a seemingly never ending nightmare- from a traumatizing gender role reversal where he is subject to his own abuse, to a confrontation of his own mortality through an endless reflection of himself on his computer, to destroying his sense of entitlement by realizing how insignificant his life through a journey through space and time, to clearly seeing the reality he wants to live by realizing who's at his funeral. Ctrl Alt Del is an exploration into what it means to be a man in a world of quick fixes.—Joshua Radford
