16 Filmmaking Teams created a broken-telephone-narrative over the course of 16 Weeks. Each team could view only the sequence that came before theirs. Together, the collective created a sprawling DIY epic! A movie that morphs rapidly before your very eyes! An ambitious community project formed in the midst of fractured isolation! Together, they created... “Insomniac: The Movie”!

Andrew works as a fishmonger. Overnight he prepares cuts of fish for sale the next day. His Girlfriend, Molly, works days in an office as a temp. They only overlap twice a day. In the morning as Andrew returns from work and eats dinner, and Molly rises for breakfast. In the evening, Molly returns home and Andrew gets ready for work. To compensate for all the time apart, they have developed rituals to keep a sense of togetherness. Making coffee, food, and taking pictures of Andrew after work.

On a bleak day in midwinter, a girl travels to her city's bus station to meet someone. She travels familiar streets and moves confidently. Her relationship with her city changes when no one arrives on the expected bus. She wanders out of the bus station, noticing her city in a new way.

A pair of eyes watch eight figures, and incidentally, create eight portraits.

Purple Valley is named after a small road in Ontario.
