Written and directed by
Aaron Woodley,
Rhinoceros Eyes follows
Chep (
Michael Pitt), a reclusive prop-factory employee who quite literally lives at his job. Considering that
Chep only leaves the funhouse-like factory to watch
romantic films at the local movie house and is able to locate even the most obscure of objects from the depths of the prop house, he is regarded among peers as a valuable, if eccentric, asset to the staff. Eventually,
Chep develops an infatuation with
Fran (
Paige Turco), a movie production designer with an uncanny eye for detail and authenticity. As her visits become more frequent, her requests become more bizarre -- including a pair of rhinoceros eyes, an antique Irish wooden prosthetic arm, and a severed index finger --
Chep becomes increasingly determined to procure them for her, and resorts to drastic, oftentimes violent measures. Though the police become involved,
Chep's grip on reality continues to deteriorate, and visions of an alter ego constructed of prop-house junk begin to take over his life. The film also features
Matt Servitto,
Jim Allodi,
Victor Ertmanis, and
Nadia Litz.
