Director M. Dot Strange offers a glimpse into the future of filmmaking where individual creativity is fully unleashed and unconstrained by traditional stumbling blocks such as budget, committe, or studio veto.
The movie frame in this case is more of an open window into the twisted mind of Mr. Strange. An aptly chosen moniker, and the window has been left wide open. Anyone raised on Commodore 64 video games, Anime, and late night 80's schlock tv will feel right at home watching this film. It's not a film for everyone; half the audience walked out within the first 10 minutes when this screened at Sundance.
The real message of "We Are The Strange" is that the future is now here. Technology has advanced to the point where one person can make a feature film, and in the same amount of time it takes the money studios to crank out their efforts.
Don't like "We Are The Strange"? Why not make your own film.
