Waking Life: mental motion pictured

By Warren Bolon

According to the script, it was forever midday inside the Essex County courthouse. Floodlights were set up to simulate sunshine on the courthouse windows. They also created a surreally bright midnight-sun effect in our living room. For those of us who were extras, simple realities like night and day, dinner and breakfast, merged into a disjointed, dreamlike state of flux.
