Fennard Black

A “The Common Experience” FILM
WRITTEN BY Thomas King

As a child, FENNARD BLACK's father taught him
four important rules to live by:

1. Never intervene in a lover's quarrel.
2. Never trust a man with a beard and no moustache.
3. Never pull out a knife you're not willing to use.
4. Never leave your family.

Despite this, soon after his father broke the fourth rule.
So Fennard followed suit, and ran away from home.

As an adult Fennard Black has a strange name -
and an even stranger story.

A dead lover, a dog playing host to fleas...
...and an imposter.

Cursed with misfortune in the most extraordinary and surreal circumstances, Fennard continues to run, breaking every rule along the way, until he ends up running into himself.

A tragic and absurd tale of rebellion and death, 'Fennard Black' reflects our begrudging obsession with the past and stubborn progression into the future.
