THE FILM
I was interested in visualizing feelings and focused all of my imagination on the effects of emotions and what they did to my own body, as well as how our personal narrative could be revealed through our bodies when we move through space and navigate the landscape.
An Alien of Extraordinary Ability is an alien classification in the US, but the feeling as an stranger sometimes exists within all of us. The filmmaker morphed into the body of an alien and asked others what their extraordinary abilities were.
Alien of Extra Ordinary Ability is an experimental short documentary film using open source software and Augmented Reality as tools for cinematic storytelling and reveal the story of four rule bending artists living and working in NYC under the current attitude shift with the US immigration policy.
