A Total Maze

A Total Maze is a 2019 short film by Mike Barkhoff.

Premise
Mike Barkhoff tries to write a script, then drinks. He becomes increasingly intoxicated and cannot write. He reflects on "Ozymandias", a poem about a leader who fell. The words stick with him.

Conception
Barkhoff loved the usage of the "Ozymandias" poem in Breaking Bad and wanted to explore it in his own art.

Aftermath
Barkhoff felt the audience "wasn't ready" for 114, the show this was made for, so decided to cut it out of his production duties. Due to this, this was the last installment for over a year, until Doppelgang (Short).
