What do you get when you cross a famous musician with an indie film maker with a moderate viking obsession? You get a Sundance-selected, solar powered, surreal short film. That's what you get.
Three time periods, one connection: Blood. The central characters are a woman and her car. The 28-minute film follows her in a strange ritual that climaxes in a collision between past and future, crashing through the gateway to parallel worlds in the same forest. A fantasy world where a Viking heart, a car crash and a bleeding forest connect. Using music rather than dialogue, the film tells a universal tale in striking optics. Borrowed from mythology, the Hunt for the Heart is the eternal quest envisioned in OOOM. Conceived by musician Melissa Auf der Maur (Hole / Smashing Pumpkins) and birthed by Filmmaker Tony Stone (Severed Ways: The Norse Discovery of America) this mini epic is proudly self-produced and shot in HD fuelled by solar power.
Auf Der Maur and Stone are hard at work getting Out Of Our Minds out on the fest circuit right now so that the curious will have a chance to see it as intended on the big screen but for the time being you can take a look at the trailer below the break.
