Raymond Carver's short story, "Cathedral" is narrated by a man who is somewhat apprehensive about a visit from his wife's blind friend, Robert.

I think that the most interesting about the protagonist in my book, Mr.Klausner, is that he chose to look beyond on our average hearing. Our whole lives we are told how far we can go on an average scale, he chose to say “Uh, no, we can even farther” this led to him making his “sound machine” that allowed him to hear sounds that were too high-pitched for our ears to hear.

Overall, Residual Dreams is a well produced and well acted short film, with several strong aspects that make it stand out in the world of student films. These aspects primarily include locations and acting. However, some aspects, primarily choreography and, at times, acting, revealed it to be a less than professional endeavor .

“Insanity is knowing that what you’re doing is completely idiotic, but still, somehow, you just can’t stop it” Elizabeth Wurtzel.
