Avant-garde style is perfect
in this modern Alice in Wonderland. A Ground Zero introducing traumatic brain injury and seizures to a wider audience. No two brain injuries are alike. Besides the Petite Mal and Grand Mal, there are around 50 different Partial seizures. Most don't produce a loss of consciousness. As more service men and women return with head injuries from our war efforts, the interest in TBI, MBI and seizures will become more mainstream. I applaud these talented Indie filmmakers and want to see more of their work.
Here, art immitates life. And it gets weird.
Worth the Money
I don't know what Roy S. Alba II is talking about, for the price I found this film to be a great value. Definitely worth the money. I have been renting it for 3 day periods every few days, but I'm saving up to buy the unlimited version.
It's like watching a nightmare, and I love it
I saw this film when my Alma Mater showed it as part of a collaboration between faculty and students at the union movie theater. I was eager to see this, as avant garde, cult, and just plain odd films are my forte. I was not disappointed. The film is, for lack of better explanation, a nightmare. A young woman wakes up after a car accident on a secluded road only to be hurled into a series of bizarre events, which only get stranger as the film goes on. This film is not for the casual movie-goer, but if you dare to enter this world please understand that you may not understand anything you see. With that mentality, you may love this film as much as I do. Shot in 16mm film, the aesthetic works wonderfully, and the imagery is unforgettable. The Oregonian is disturbing, funny, and simply brilliant.
Writer Director Calvin Reeder is a daring man with a twisted mind, and if you can appreciate that you can appreciate this film.
