2015 · 8m · USA
Directed by Eddie Alcazar
Genres: drama, experimental, sci-fi
Tones: contemplative, dark, surreal
A young woman travels through time to connect with her past self, seeking emotional fulfillment; when faced with rejection, questions of selfhood and gender collapse the temporal divide, forcing an existential choice between two versions of herself. Shot on 16mm with a score by Flying Lotus.

Alcazar's 16mm formalism and Flying Lotus's score produce something closer to expanded cinema than conventional short narrative; the Sundance and Fantastic Fest double confirms this is not merely a music video calling itself film. A disciplined piece of genre-defying American underground work.
Eddie Alcazar plus Flying Lotus plus 16mm plus time-travel-gender-identity. The Sundance Next Fest premiere is a fair endorsement; Alcazar's later Perfect proved the sensibility was real.
Eddie Alcazar pairing 16mm analog texture with a Flying Lotus score for a time-travel premise that fractures into pure identity dysphoria. Sundance 2016, Fantastic Fest — Alcazar's visceral register is already fully formed here.
