Shot on a camcorder for less than £4000, combining elements of philosophy and science fiction, the film tells the story of a psychotherapist who becomes involved in a personal investigation into the mysterious suicides of two clients.
[1] Psychotherapist Dr David Wright is in a session with depressed physicist Karl, who tells him about a thought experiment called Quantum Suicide.
She discovers something curious - his apartment is almost empty: a cup, a spoon, a fork, a knife, frames without pictures, torn photos... One more curiosity: Four dated descriptions of moments in Rene's life.
Something sinister behind these 'suicides'... David Wright, who starts the film having lost faith in psychotherapy (seeing the quest for happiness as futile in a world of misery) is energised by the mystery behind the deaths of his patients.
After bluffing his way into a meeting with First and Second Contact he awakes naked in his house, stripped of his belongings in the same fashion as his dead patients.
Waking in a dark underground laboratory, he discovers he has been part of an experiment called 'Quantum Suicide' where memories become 'destinations' and your obsession with the past can lead you to a chance of happiness in a parallel world.
After successfully raising £15,000 on kickstarter.com for theatrical distribution, the film received its global premiere at the BFI IMAX on 2 September 2013.
