Soul to Squeeze is a psychological thriller that explores fractured memory
and shifting perception, featuring Michael Thomas Santos in a physically
transformative role. The film’s aspect ratio gradually expands throughout,
reflecting the protagonist’s unraveling mind. Blending emotional depth with
innovative storytelling, it offers a fresh and immersive cinematic
experience.
Jacob’s got problems-deep, mental ones. Desperate for relief, he volunteers
for a radical treatment to escape his tortured mind. But instead of peace,
he finds himself trapped in a house with a tunnel to his subconscious. What
begins as a path to healing becomes a harrowing descent where memory
fractures, time distorts, and reality bends. A first-of-its-kind cinematic
experience, Soul to Squeeze begins in a boxy 4:3 aspect ratio and ever so
slowly widens to a full 2.35:1 by the final frame-mirroring Jacob’s
expanding perception as he risks everything for redemption. Visually daring
and emotionally raw, Soul to Squeeze merges body with mind, taking audiences
on a perilous journey through the psyche.
