ALTERED PERCEPTIONS is not your typical science fiction film. It’s a thought-provoking and visually stunning exploration of mental health, set in a post-apocalyptic world.
With its gripping storyline of an intergalactic prophet attempting to warn humans about the present and their impending doom– written by neuropsychologist Dr. Wayne Dees– the movie is an immersive experience that will leave viewers asking questions about their own perceptions of reality.
Director Jorge Ameer stated, “ALTERED PERCEPTIONS gives the viewer a glimpse into many provocative issues that may be obvious to some and intriguing to others, but we hope this motion picture experience will offer an entertaining look into the absurdities of some realities while hopefully inciting healthy discussion about our state of affairs.”
The film also serves as an important reminder that we are all connected and that the world we live in shapes how we view reality. As viewers, it’s our responsibility to challenge our own preconceived notions and open ourselves up to new ideas about our own biases, preconceptions, and limitations. With its unique blend of fantasy and realism, Altered Perceptions is sure to bring new perspectives and spark lively discussion.
Featuring an impressive inter-generational cast of celebrities, the film first premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2023 followed by the Marina Del Rey Film Festival, garnering rave reviews from film critics and audiences alike.
