Charles Scandura is a speck of cosmic dust surfing the boundless disparate waves of universal resonance like a small child standing on the bare back of a wild stallion. The creative process is a means to survival providing mere sustenance for his soul in the same way that breathing air enriches the blood-flow to his meager brain. He views filmmaking as a spiritual exercise that merely reconciles the ephemeral stitch of time that dangles from God’s eternal cloak.

Vestigial Window is a dense and complicated tale that highlights the power of love against the backdrop of eternal slumber. It is not as much random artsy, and vague as it may seem to the casual observer as it is an intentionally intertwined puzzle. An enigma for the curious to untangle.
Driven by love Daniel, a dying scientist constructs an instrument that tunes into the frequency of human consciousness. He believes that this is achievable by using algorithms derived from the coils found in the bloodstream (DNA). With a deep respect for his passionate belief, his soul-mate Sarah follows his instructions in an effort to bridge the gap between life and death. When they meet in the astral plane they both realize that they are breaching the barrier of death. But the mystery of whether consciousness is in fact measurable becomes even more daunting to Daniel and for Sarah consciousness is the only thing that can save her from the lure of death’s dream.
