Latest Installment Explores Cosmic Creation Through Film, Sculpture, and Art
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- , renowned international artist and philanthropist, is proud to unveil his latest collection "Ectropy: Chaos to Order"—an immersive journey through the cosmic cycle of birth, life, and death. The collection combines film, oil paintings, and sculpture to create a visual symphony that explores the very essence of existence. The premiere screening of the sci-fi short "Ectropy" will take place on Saturday, November 23rd, 2024 at The Culver Theater in Culver City, California, followed by a private gallery reception held at in Beverly Hills.
"Ectropy," the prelude to Winn's Existential Surrealism trilogy, explores the cosmic process of order emerging from chaos. Following the success of the award-winning short "Creation" (released in 2023), "Ectropy" (Creation's prequel) delves deeper into the metaphysical themes of existence, creation, and transformation. Both films—alongside the final chapter, Entropy (to be filmed in 2025)—together embody the eternal cycle of creation and dissolution.
Set in the days preceding the creation of Homme and Femme, the narrative of "Ectropy" unfolds against the backdrop of cosmic genesis. Centered around the protagonist known as the "Artist" (Winn), a member of the enigmatic Timeless Presence species tasked with shaping the universe, the story navigates the Artist's journey. Faced with the existential challenges that push him to the brink, the Artist embarks on the profound task of weaving the very fabric of nature, aided by the ethereal and captivating presence of Mother Nature. Together, they embark on a cosmic odyssey, shaping the destiny of nature and life as we perceive them.
Containing no dialogue, the trilogy relies solely on imagery and musical scores to convey the profound themes, inviting viewers to engage with the visuals and soundscapes, immersing them in the exploration of existence, creation, and transformation.
"Ectropy" showcases the collaborative vision of director Jordan Schulz and Sir Daniel Winn. The film features a screenplay co-written by Schulz and Andrew Creme, with Randall J. Slavin and the Vungo family as executive producers. It also introduces actress Vivienne Lucille.
