The Metaphysician's Dream

The second in a series of films set in the metaphysical world of Althyria.

The story of Connie Sproutz, a likeable young woman with the sad problem of a spore-generating deformity on her face which causes difficulties in her day-to-day life such as dissolving into a gelatinous mass anyone who is to be devoured by the neural parasite that inhabits her skull, which is empty due to the fact that she stores her brain in a jar beside her bed.

Third in a series set in the metaphysical world of Althyria, the film depicts lost toys in a desolate landscape attempting to find their way home. It was partly inspired by the reports of certain dreams experienced by scientists and philosophers which seemed nonsensical but actually led to new discoveries.

Originally created as a 90 minute feature film, Althyria premiered at the Reno Little Theater in November 2018. It was the story of a woman searching for her identical twin sister, an artist who believes that the world of her dreams, which she is painting obsessively, is real. The concept is a psychological exploration of the melding of reality and dreams in the increasingly disturbed mind of the main character. The characters of the twin sisters were played by Zakotah Sevon. This plotline has evolved into a more impressionistic story with a surreal approach to fit the film's basic concept of splitting into fragments the character's experience, reflecting a whole that remains enigmatic and ultimately mysterious.
