Valparaiso

By Don Delillo

Directed by Jeremy Thomas Poulsen

Indiana, Florida, and Chile all have a Valparaiso, and in this dark comedy, Michael visits all three during a routine business trip gone awry. This mix-up catapults Michael to celebrity status, and he details his misadventure to every media outlet that will listen. However, things in the media aren’t always as they seem and slowly Michael reveals a different, darker side of the Valparaiso story. This revelation leads to a series of events that change Michael’s life in ways he could never have imagined.
