These short films were built from moments, memories, atmospheres, and emotional visual fragments living inside Memoirs of the Felmed Coof.
They are not trailers.
They are not scenes recreated from the novel.
They exist somewhere between memory and aftermath, the same place the book itself often lives.
Some are built from single lines.
Some from emotional states.
Some from the quiet spaces surrounding violence, addiction, loyalty, fear, grief, or the slow realization that growing up and falling apart sometimes happen at the same time.
Boston hangs underneath all of them.
So does the Felmed Coof.
Each fragment is connected to Shane McAlister’s psychological world, the rooms he remembers, the streets he walked, the people he survived beside, and the versions of himself he slowly became.
These pieces are meant to feel incomplete.
Like memory does.
If you’ve read the novel, they may pull certain moments back to the surface.
If you haven’t, they’ll give you a glimpse into the emotional atmosphere waiting underneath it.
Not every coming-of-age story survives itself.
