Altered Perceptions (2023)
What if Covid Were Coded as a Hate Virus?
We may think to ourselves that the people we disagree with are "sick." Why do they believe such absurd things? What makes them act so strangely, and too often violently?
But what if all those people -- and more and more -- actually were sick with an unknown virus that turns the world on its head? This is the world of "Altered Perceptions."
As the virus rapidly spreads, and the entire country reels from its effects, a family of two gay fathers and their adult son struggle to cope in an existence where friends can suddenly become enemies and alliances can shift because of a brain infection.
The government and the health sector work on the growing problem, but as always, too slowly and inadequately. Can anything stop the spread?
Director Jorge Ameer envisions the world of "Altered Perceptions" through the eyes of its gay protagonists, who are constantly in danger. He adds otherworldly special effects to the drama and includes a nude male Cassandra in the story.
The Family Tree (2020)
True Friendship in Panama
Stunning views of the city and a beautiful musical score enhance this bittersweet tale of generosity and love among three sophisticated friends in modern Panama. The story begins at Christmas with the Panamanian tradition of creating an effigy of Santa filled with fireworks and lighting it to set off the fireworks display. During this holiday season, an act of selflessness changes all three of their lives forever.
