 Apperception is not a simple concept; it calls for an understanding of one s own consciousness. This film examines the idea of fear in terms of perception. Fear is confusing; fear is illusive. After a girl (Jordan Dansky) watches a disturbing movie with friends, she lies awake thinking. A shadow passes over her. She is filled with an intense horror. But what is she really scared of? With Apperception, Director Chad Cooper examines not only how fear affects us but the very nature behind why we fear.
