A Mind’s Eye, a short film starring James and Oliver Phelps, has been released online and can be rented for $2.95 at Vimeo.

This is a film about Plato’s ideas. It is about Stanley who thinks things into existence. He thinks of fire and fire appears. He thinks of rocks, water and trees and rocks, water and trees appear. He even manages to think a horse and a baby boy into existence. Or does he?

While Stanley is busy concentrating, his reflection is behaving inappropriately. The two begin a dialogue in the tradition of Socrates and his pupils. The reflection, Stanley Too, proves the wiser and though Stanley believes himself to be the ‘real’ Stanley and the other the reflection, he discovers this may not be the case.
