Seed is the life-affirming tale of a lost soul’s journey through America and his intimate encounters with an eclectic mix of strangers. Everyman Francis Seed is spiritually dead and searching for answers. On his journey across the country, he encounters an eclectic group of inquisitive, “real” people- an old man, a rabbi, a teacher, a dominatrix, a tarot card reader and various artists and musicians. He shares his thoughts on his own inevitable death and the resulting exchanges are a myriad of unscripted, candid and enlightening philosophies on living and why we, as the human race, are here on this planet.
Director and cinematographer Bobby Sheehan calls his film a structural experiment in humanity and a new film genre, “feature verite”. Blurring the lines between documentary and narrative, Seed straddles both reality and fiction.
In “Seed,” director Sheehan turns what could have been a routine talking heads docu into a highly imaginative, collage-like, experimental epic.”
