Steve DiBenedetto Spiral Architect

Here's my submission of a plot synopsis for a motion picture treatment based on the life and work of painter Steve DiBenedetto. This is not a conventional biopic. It's a darkly comic, visually chaotic, and metaphysical character study that mirrors the complexity of DiBenedetto's paintings. Think Pi meets Adaptation with the psychotronic energy of Enter the Void and the neurotic wit of Barton Fink. Title: The Spiral Architect Genre: Psychological art biopic / dark comedy / speculative reality Tone: Claustrophobic, anarchic, philosophically trippy: a descent into the painter's mind where helicopters, octopuses, and cosmic architecture fight for dominance. Logline: A reclusive New York painter descends into an obsessive, hallucinatory creative spiral as he attempts to finish a massive canvas combining utopian architecture, war machines, and psychic chaos all while battling his own collapsing reality and the ghost of Buckminster Fuller.
