FUGUE STATE
Written by WICKIE STAMPS
Directed by JED BELL

Fugue State, from Wickie Stamp's Southern gothic work-in-progress, revolves around the crimes of and against the notorious Dr. Prince Beckmana psychiatrist and former head of Zeboiim prison. Follow Francy MacLeish, a frequently medicated ex-mental patient, as she "investigates" the doctor's gruesome trail. Meet the case's major suspects: Jackson Beckman, a defrocked psychiatrist and son of Prince, Jackson's convict brother Dakin, and Francy's sister M MacLeishan anti-psychiatry, sexually transgressive, revenge-oriented anarchist. Fugue State is an engaging and disturbing fever dream.

Wickie Stamps is a widely published writer and emerging screenwriter whose work has appeared in The Advocate, OutWeek, Gay Community News, Frontiers, Drummer, Socialist Review, and over a dozen short-story collections. Wickie is currently finishing her first novel, a strange Southern tale of queerness and crime. Her current obsessions include crime, horror, dark arts, and small dogs. Wickie also offers Creative Co-Conspiracy Services (a.k.a. coaching) in her alternate persona, Monstre Sacr.

Jed Rosenthal Bell is an award-winning filmmaker whose shorts include the queer noir crime drama "Foucault WHO?" (also made with Wickie Stamps) and the kvetchy animated trans satire "DRIVE THRU." You can find Jed and Wickie online at www.headswillroll.net
