The one that got away (full movie 2017) | Nicholas Carlson

For Nick, a successful and esteemed angler, it's just another typical outing on the lakefront. But all that changes in an instant when he finds himself battling a leviathan of a fish - and loses. Disillusioned and bitter, Nick attempts to go about his life, as the people around him help, harm, or worse, coddle his shattered ego. Nick refuses to let go - and the dark emotions culminate in the form of a spectral doppelganger, who takes residence in his closet and manipulates him to waste away in pursuit of the one that got away. Obsession spirals out of control and the limits of human desire are tested in this bizarre conglomeration of comedy, drama, and horror. THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY (2017) is a feature-length independent film directed, written, edited, composed by, and starring Nick Carlson. Written and shot over the length of one memorable summer, and wholly completed within the year, the movie was made with practically no budget, barebones equipment, and necessitated the assistance of over a dozen family members and friends, most of whom merely owed Nick a favor, or were coerced with the promise of food. At 19 years old, Nick's primary aspiration is to make it in the film industry, and he hopes that this fifty-seven minute project, in which he manned almost every facet of production, will serve as an exhibition of his passion, dedication, and talent. thecinadel@gmail.com Nick Carlson: npc1921@gmail.com
