EMPYREAN: First Poster Offers Stark, Beautiful Look At Canadian Indie
Thomas Robert Lee's debut feature film Empyrean will have its world premiere at the Calgary International Film Festival on October 4th. The Calgary local has passed along the first poster from his first film. It is a simple design, taking a striking image from his film and not losing its effectiveness by clogging up the surroundings with busy text. Simple and effective.
On the eve of his 30th birthday, William Fischer is forced to reevaluate himself following a near-death experience. His attempts at returning to life as he knew it are obstructed by a psychic awakening beyond comprehension. Reality crumbles as he journeys further into the depths of his consciousness, nearing a truth which suggests meaning. His growing disconnect from those around him is accentuated by the deterioration of his marriage and the impulse to return to nature.A sensory experience that is both immersive and deeply felt, Empyrean is a haunting meditation on the intersection of time, space and memory. In the vein of introspective genre fare such as Upstream Color, Solaris and Don't Look Now, Empyrean is a hopeful account of disparate individuals seeking out meaning and redemption, as well as a reverent bow to the unknowable.
