A Screenwriting Professor Experiences a Kafkaesque Descent in Harry Sherriff’s ‘Jeremy: A Nightmare’
The joy of seeing a promising young filmmaker grow and grow with each new project is one of the great privileges we get here at Dn.

Its relatively low budget means that there's fairly limited coverage and occasional bits of technical cost-cutting. But there's a strong sense of dread throughout,...
