     Written and directed by Lawrence Lee Wallace, "Tobias" invites viewers on a psychological journey, diving into the turbulent mind of its protagonist, Tobias. Edward Williams III delivers a thrilling performance as Tobias that is raw, intense, and hauntingly convincing, pulling the audience into the storm that rages within this mentally disturbed man's mind.

From his pushy landlady, a bombshell revelation from his ex-wife to the  threat of losing his job from his boss, things spiral out of control with Tobias's intrusive thoughts. The film delves into the chilling reality that Tobias obtains complete satisfaction by resorting  to taking the lives of those who have become entangled in his psychological descent. 

      The cinematography effectively contributes to the eerie atmosphere, creating an evident sense of tension that lingers throughout the film, carefully capturing the shifts in Tobias's moods with his facial expressions and voice inflections as well as the intricate facets of his emotions. Through thoughtful close-ups and creative angles, the audience is gently drawn into Tobias's emotional world.

      The musical score, carefully composed to complement the narrative, enhances the emotional impact of each scene and becomes a character in its own right. It is a guide, leading viewers through the labyrinth of Tobias's mind, enhancing the intensity of each emotion portrayed on screen.

     For those who love psychological thrillers, Tobias promises a satisfying experience and The Indie's Nest anticipates the next chapter in Lawrence Lee Wallace's filmmaking journey.
