I Used to Be Tom B‪.‬

Tom B. was born into the socially, economically and upwardly mobile middle class. His generation largely knew nothing of suffering and hardship. Tom B., a typical young man in his thirties has everything that life ever promised him: the college degree, the cushy office job, the beautiful wife and the quaint suburban home. Yet he finds his existence increasingly empty and surreal. Somewhere either imprinted on his DNA or emanating from scattered memories of youth, Tom B. once knew what it was like to feel alive. As he starts to engage his more primal and animalistic self, we watch Tom B. mentally and physically diverge from societal norms. Tom B.’s descent into the full, guiltless, unrepressed man eventually leads to his spiritual and physical fulfillment and yet his ultimate demise.
