Review by Bob Ignizio
In writer/director Kahlil Sullin’s debut feature LISTENING, broke college students David
(Thomas Stroppel) and Ryan (Artie Ahr) are working on a machine that can decode
human thought. Once sexy mystery girl Jordan (Amber Marie Bollinger) worms her
way into their project, her suggestions help turn the device into a telepathy
machine. Meanwhile, the CIA is working on a way to implant suggestions into
people’s minds. When the project leader gets wind of our protagonists’ invention,
he realizes they may well have succeeded where his own scientists have failed,
and sets out to obtain the technology one way or another. Amidst all this
intrigue, David’s home life with wife Melanie (Christine Haeberman) and
daughter Lana (Mykayla Sohn) is falling apart, exacerbated by his attraction to
Jordan, who is in turn romantically involved with Ryan.
