Imagine a technology that allows you to see beyond the material world. Inspired by the 1980 film "Altered States" and the concept of technologies that enable physical transcendence, I made this short film with some friends a few years back. We finished it a few months ago and I'm happy to share it with you here.

Log line:

After a techie's addictive research into a new technology that probes the deepest realms of consciousness nearly kills her, her partner decides to do something drastic to prove just how fragile their relationship and life really is.
