Synopsis of the film, courtesy of http://thealteredmovie.com/.
SARAH - 26 - a beautiful young woman living on the streets - leads us through the seedier parts of Chicago and introduces us to a strange cast of characters. She follows a handsome PRIEST into a dark hotel; the kind of place we would never willingly enter on our own. The Priest kills a waiting prostitute and attacks Sarah, but she is saved by LOGAN, a mysterious man who never speaks.
As we return to the streets, we enter a fractured storyline with an expanding cast of characters. Sarah is convinced she can change reality, desperately wanting to rewind the day to before her childhood friend’s tragic accident.
In each of three acts, Sarah ends up in the room just as the killer dismembers his victim, and in each act we see Logan shot and killed on the streets. Sarah goes from being a drug addict and being brutally raped, to supplying drugs and pumping the prostitute for information. When she kills a gang leader who opens fire on her, we discover she’s an undercover narcotics officer. With Logan leading the task force, Sarah is invited to join in the hunt for the killer.
Sarah makes her way to the hotel for the final time where Sarah, Logan, and the Priest converge. As the action explodes around us, we simultaneously find answers and new ways to look at everything that’s come before. Like our changing perceptions, Sarah finally realizes her thoughts and ideas do shape her world, but she’s not God; that no matter how she tries, “Good Never Fades and Evil Never Dies.”
Director’s Statement
Making any movie is a monumental task, but I can think of nothing more exciting than battling the odds with friends and family to create something meaningful. Time and the audience will judge our efforts, but the struggle and the joy of the work has truly transformed and ‘altered’ my own life and work, and I hope, for many of those who've given me their trust on this long journey.
The ideas and concepts of “Altered” began 10 years ago at a time when I knew I had none of the money, skills, or the experience to attempt it. Like any director, I see the flaws as much as the successes, and of course, there are seemingly endless compromises along the way, but the movie we’ve created delivers the feel and the heart of what we were striving for.
“Change Your Perception and You Change the World.” I know my own world has changed many times already, and I’m ready to see where it takes me and what comes next! - Kely McClung
