Win Praxis DVD

PRAXIS
Breaking away from the current trends of indie cinema - using snappy dialogue, ultra-violent action and a mumblecore style - PRAXIS relies on the visuals and cinematography for its spatial and thought provoking style of storytelling. Unspoken connections arise between the Proteus myths, current pharmacology and the possibility of life on other worlds. Pacheco draws on the influences of David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick, and Akira Kurosawa to express themes of spirituality, existentialism, and sexual identity.
PRAXIS centers on Brian (Tom Macy) who searches longingly for the basic truths and meaning in both his life, and the universe around him. Fighting against fear and indifference in society, Brian's quest mirrors that of the myth of Proteus, the prophetic old man of the sea, who could see clearly through the entire depths of the ocean.
As Brian struggles desperately to sift through the fragments of his persona, his successful career as a writer begins to slowly disintegrate around him, placing him dangerously on the verge of a complete mental breakdown.
Brian's close friend Joe (Andrew Roth) does his best to guide Brian through the dangerous waters. However, an unexpected erotic and sensual encounter between the two men brings them closer than ever together, resulting in a surprising twist in their relationship. Add in an extremely elusive and mysterious female (Regina Aquino), and the quest for truth deepens further.
