A Room Full of Nothing is a narrative feature that follows a 30-something couple who live a fantastical life outside of the social norms of the fast-paced city. Phyllis is an aspiring collage artist whose chief patron is a terse gallery owner while Barry is an actor at a community theatre run by an egotistical and shallow artistic director. Emboldened with the "Keep Austin Weird" mentality, the two embody the eccentric art scene that Austin has become famous for.Almost simultaneously the two receive scathing criticism of their respective crafts and they sink into a collective depressive slump. Despondent and dejected they retreat from society and in a whiskey-fueled desolation they playfully ask the cosmic universe to rid them of all the unwanted people in the world. The next morning they discover that their "manifestation" has come true and they're the last two people left in the world. Basking in the freedom of the unburdening of societal obligations they embark on an adventure of playful antics.Their new found freedom takes a dark turn as they come to terms with the consequences of living without other human connections. With no people there is also no art, no science, and no progress. With this grim prospect their relationship fractures and their strange fantasy worsens. The evidence of the world begins to dissolve and evanesce. Buildings, vehicles, and roads eventually dissipate leaving them to wander an empty forest using only primitive survival techniques. The world becomes a stark desert that the two are forced to wander with nothing to keep them company but their own thoughts until their ultimate demise becomes inevitable.
