How Long Is “You Are Here”?

Several separate incidents that seem puzzling on their own cohere into a larger logic in this offbeat independent drama. Dr. Mayhew (Anand Rajaram) is stuck in a small room without windows, trying to translate messages in Chinese without knowing a word of the language. A man named Alan goes through a challenging day as he constantly shifts shape (he's played by over twenty actors during the course of the film) while trying to recover the passwords to his computer. The employees of a telephone center are carefully tracing the movements of a handful of people for no clear reason. And a woman who collects and sorts random documents (Tracy Wright) may hold the key to everyone's dilemmas. The first feature film from writer and director Daniel Cockburn, You Are Here was an official selection at the 2010 Toronto Film Festival. It was also one of the final films for Tracy Wright, a frequent presence in Canadian independent films who succumbed to cancer in June 2010.
