TRANSPERSONAL CINEMA

The Cinema of Transformation and Transcendence

Voice in Exile

VOICE IN EXILE was created as an experiment in the creation of a personal film through the transpersonal filmmaking process of the cinematic vision quest. Utilizing my own personal childhood experiences as a stutter, I endeavored to translate my lived experience into a dramatic, symbolic, archetypal, and audiovisual journey into the heart and mind of a person who stutters.

An audiovisual score was created for the film to explore the use of the expressive elements of space, shape, line, light, color, tone, rhythm, movement, orientation, time, contrast/affinity, sign, symbol and archetype in the capturing of the emotional and perceptual states of an individual who stutters. This score was developed from the my own  personal story and experiences, along with the stories and experiences of other stutterer's. The screenplay and storyboards were created concurrently with the visual score, enabling the integration of the visual design throughout the piece. The visual score included divisions for subjective and objective perceptions of waking reality (SPR/OPR); subjective dream states (SDS); and subjective developmental transitions (SDT).
