The total duration of the project has come out to be somewhere close to 14 minutes in length. The film embarks on a psychedelic journey through Parker's deranged mind in a dream sequence that encompasses his daily rituals, sexual fantasies, self-explored insights, and intangible fears. In this world of his distraught imagination, William searches for his true character only to step further into the unknown and is inevitably consumed by a greater riddle. "William" explores the themes of death, love, and insanity. The film's structure follows in the footsteps of directors such as Kenneth Anger and contains minimal dialogue. The movie, apart from it's outline, is very much like David Lynch's surrealist work in that it is open to interpreting.The film features a first-person, psychedelic experience, in which the main character merges with an all encompassing sphere of light. However, after this, Parker becomes disillusioned by his separateness and is completely depersonalized from himself. Slowly relapsing into a bout of fear, he melts away into abstract insanity.
