Altered Perceptions

Just ordered the Blu-ray after watching this film because it's definitely a must for my collection. I found the film to be very relevant to current events happening in our political eco-system. What I also liked about this thriller is that it's very unpredictable. After looking up the film on social media I found interesting that the main star Oran Stainbrook is running for Utah Senate inspired by the events happening in the film and in real life. This film will make an impression on you and I recommend it very much because of its insight and foreshadowing. Keep in mind this film was shot years ago and yet everything that was film is currently happening. I find this very intriguing and fascinating! Highlly recommended specially for those who are still undecided on who to vote for this November.

Imagine the events in this movie were taking place?! This is a different approach to society's doings, but with an actual realistic political perspective. What if the eldelry were commiting such crimes? We do live in a scary society controlled by politicians, which amongst everything else, they seek power.

Altered Perceptions is such an interesting film worth watching. It is not your typical Hollywood film with action and story timeline.

Wayne Dees is such a creative writer when it comes down to have an original Script. And Jorge Ameer is the eccentric experienced Director and artist that have this vision fulfilled. Watch it!

Definitely something you haven't seen before - tying together a lot of current applicable areas of conflict in todays bifurcated political world such as Covid, Covid vaccinations, LGBTQ rights and racism - tied together with a fictional virus to show how a divided world reacts to adversity.

A pretty strong cast, and while the lower budget is evident in certain shots / wardrobe, it plays well and has a tangibly indie feel that's refreshing.

It would have been nice to see a slightly more developed relationship between some of the main characters so we could sympathize more with their predicament/ very evident anguish later on in the film, and I thought that the music bed wasn't necessary to be constantly playing though out some scenes - but overall it's an ambitious and gripping experience. Just prepare for a bit of frontal nudity as well.

We may think to ourselves that the people we disagree with are "sick." Why do they believe such absurd things? What makes them act so strangely, and too often violently?

But what if all those people -- and more and more -- actually were sick with an unknown virus that turns the world on its head? This is the world of "Altered Perceptions."

As the virus rapidly spreads, and the entire country reels from its effects, a family of two gay fathers and their adult son struggle to cope in an existence where friends can suddenly become enemies and alliances can shift because of a brain infection.

The government and the health sector work on the growing problem, but as always, too slowly and inadequately. Can anything stop the spread?

Director Jorge Ameer envisions the world of "Altered Perceptions" through the eyes of its gay protagonists, who are constantly in danger. He adds otherworldly special effects to the drama and includes a nude male Cassandra in the story.

I met Jorge Ameer in the DVD section of a popular record store in Los Angeles, California. We had a great conversation about the movie industry. And to my surprise, he told me that he was, in fact, a film director and said I should check out his film Altered Perception.

So I went home and watched it. Who would have thought a filmmaker could add anything new to the Sci-Fi genre? This movie does just that.

Oran Stainbrook, Danny Fehsenfeld, and Matt Fling performed outstandingly in this film.

Kudos to Jorge Ameer and his very ambitious independent film. I can't wait to see what he has in store next.
