Student Film 2001. Based on the 1964 Jeff Brown children's book 'Flat Stanley'. This gothic re-imagining tells the story of when Stanley Lambchop and his younger brother Arthur are given a big bulletin board by their Dad for displaying pictures and posters. He hangs it on the wall over Stanley's bed. During the night the board falls from the wall, flattening Stanley in his sleep. He survives and makes the best of his altered state, and soon he is entering locked rooms by sliding under the door, and playing with his younger brother by being used as a kite. However the pressures of being a social outcast eventually lead to Stanley's emotional downfall and eventual revenge on the entire town.
