The Tyranny of Art

The Tyranny of Art - a short film by Brad Allen dedicated to and inspired by the Venus Project and the Zeitgeist Movement.
Starring non-actor Michael Zarrella (Abdul Majid Alim Al-Malik), the film depicts the struggles of an artist within a failing monetary economy to express complex subjects of social relevance within his art. Abdul has to finish his latest concept before his exhibition next weekend, but after he is fired from his day job at Big Guy's grocery store he is confronted with a shift in priorities and must make a decision about what to be more concerned with - himself or his art.
