Thanks again, Occult Demon Casestte.
“They come from another dimension. They have an agenda we are not aware of. They are already here, and they look just like us. How would you react if you met your double, and knew only one of you could survive?”
In the year 2284, bestselling author Alex (Stan Weston, Professor Wilson from The Power) meets his dopplegangers, all of whom want to use his face and fame to publish The Book, which they claim can save humanity through alchemy.
“Is it a formula for Utopia? A secret group of dissidents determined to remain unchanged thinks otherwise.”
Directed, written, and shot by Ø (or Richard Weiss), this used to have a Facebook page, now covered with warnings about hackers and the “I don’t give permission” post that your high school boy or girlfriend’s MAGA mom has posted several times.
The official site is down too.
People talk about lost media all the time, and if you think about it, all these old cult films, lost in time, their Geocities websites left empty, social media no longer communicating, are also lost media. When a creator’s social media is replaced by boomer-scam warnings and “Facebook doesn’t own my posts” copypasta, it creates a meta-narrative: the film about a disappearing reality has itself been swallowed by the digital void.
We focus on the films themselves, but the ecosystem around them, such as the fan theories on 1998 message boards, the Geocities sites with flickering “Under Construction” GIFs and the dead links are the Gnostic ruins of our modern age.
This movie looks absolutely INSANE. I can’t be more hyperbolic about this.
You can watch this on YouTube.
