    "Altered Perceptions" will Knock your Socks Off!

    Director. Jorge Ameer's "Altered Perceptions" is a post apocalyptic feature film released in 2023. The screenwriter, Dr. Wayne C. Dees, a neurologist by profession, was inspired to write this narrative during the pandemic shutdown. As a scientist, Dees addresses current issues at hand with acumen. In this riveting thriller, a pandemic sweeps the nation in the face of civil unrest, rioting and deepfake news. Adults over age 60 infected with the scourge experience extreme danger to themselves and others.

    The characters in this film, a politician, a few seniors and others are likable despite their foibles. In the midst of the chaos and crisis, a time traveling prophet presents as a source of. Inspiration. "Altered Perceptions" is an important film portraying the tenor of the times.

    Art imitates real life

    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.

    My perception is Altered.

    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.

    Unique, unpredictable, occasionally shocking.

    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.

    The horror beneath this rich and layered dystopian cautionary tale

    Saw this film as the opening night fil of the Marina Del Rey Film Festival. It is intense, amusing, shocking and very real. Great artwork in the title sequences as well, a very unique and interesting painting. Within the obvious story of the movie lies many layers of what ifs with several obvious real life characters bunched into the few that lead this film on our obsession with choosing morally bankrupt looney tunes to lead the country and the disastrous consequences of a total lack of critical thinking when it come time to vote for your elected officials. The protagonists Alex is on a serious career path seeking his due without realizing the profound effects his professional choices will have on his personal/family life as they are ideologically contradicting. He will soon find out what happens when you choose to sell your soul to the devil and the outcome of what happens when you attempt to get it back, but it's too late because the devil may already have plans for you. In this movie the devil is deceiving, cunning, a bold face stare into your eyes, a liar who will trick constantly at will without observing any consequence associated with his actions. He may be neatly packaged as a biblical prophet who will make things right should you choose him/entrust him your vote and your support. The Devil here is personified as the person who will see to it that what he promised gets delivered two fold and swiftly without thinking of any lies, deceit, empty promises or fraudulent or continuous proliferation of false statements that may affect or be the cause of extreme collateral damage. The scariest part of this movie is the foreshadowing - the way - the politician has already dutifully predicted several outcomes. This movie is what happens when crazy is left unchecked. It is a harrowing movie based on our reality with one warning after another that if we don't wake up soon enough to see through the sewage being spoken daily for our ingestion by these marginalized fringe politicians. This movie in particular details one specific - or maybe two politicians - one is getting constantly indicted the other hates Disney. These two jokes seem to have been merged by the writer into one character. This politician of which we shall not speak his name could very much cause irreparable damage, chaos and destruction so bad it could take several generations to fix our democracy to a semblance of what it used to be. I give this film a A for being so audacious and another A for all of the symbolism it may take several viewing for you to discover.
