Mnemonica

Three years ago I came up with an idea for a film about a young girl and her weirdo best friend.  This was going to be a simple story about two people from opposite ends of the world.  As all things seem to go, my idea evolved into a full length feature film with many actors, scenes and locations.  I filmed sporadically over the course of fifteen months.  During this time, the film went through various actor replacements and subsequent re-shoots.  If I wasn't satisfied with a performance or a scene or my directing or camera work, I called everyone back and did it over.

Myself and the cast and crew of Mnemonica lived by this credo for fifteen months.  The result is a uniquely surreal film which when all is said and done, amounts to a total Mind Fxxk.  I write this in all seriousness.  If you allow it, Mnemonica will suck you into its world and mess with your mind. How? It was purposefully constructed to induce a mild hypnotic state in the open minded viewer.  You must be receptive to psychological suggestion.  This is not to say the film cannot be enjoyed casually.  But if you relax and breath evenly, you will experience a kind of euphoria or what I refer to as "floating in space". Your eyes will follow the images and your ears with hear the sounds, but your mind will be carried away softly.  Don't worry, you will return to normal consciousness the moment the film ends.  You may even feel the urge to smile or say something nice to your loved ones.
