A childhood spent finding roadkill and learning taxidermy suddenly ends when a mysterious omen appears, compelling them to abandon their home and begin a nomadic journey. Fleeing in a car filled with Uncle’s talismans and taxidermy creations, they travel into the heart of the city, following the river and exploring the bridges in search of a mysterious offering. As the uncle descends into delusion, driving the streets searching for coded signs, the boy understands the final lesson of his apprenticeship from a dangerous, transformative perspective.\n\nSTUART DYBEK is an internationally recognized author and is the recipient of numerous honors and awards, including fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Guggenheim Foundation, and the MacArthur Foundation. His fiction, poetry, and nonfiction have appeared widely in journals such as Harper’s, Poetry, Tin House, the Atlantic, and the New Yorker.\nMARY LIVONI is a Chicago artist and filmmaker. Based in Chicago, she has exhibited drawings, paintings, and, more recently, photography and video that directly draw inspiration from literature and poetry. Her artwork has been widely exhibited and included in private and corporate collections. The Apprentice is her first short feature.\nWith thanks to the Chicago Literary Hall of Fame for their support and sponsorship of the film.\nThis project was made possible and is partially funded with a grant from the Department of Cultural Affairs, Chicago.\n
