Shot on super 16mm film in Aoteaora New Zealand, Samoa, and during a 5-day meteor shower filmed at a remote mountaintop astrophysics observatory in North America with a large cast of performers and artists including Samoan dance artist Chief Ioane Papali’i, Apple Pie’s experiential tonality has been described as “beautifully poetic and mesmerizing” to the “terrifically intense” and “epistemology off-piste.”
Modeling its structural architecture from the solar system, Apple Pie is designed to anatomically function as an existent complex structure (like the world itself).
The ‘narrative’ of the film follows a messy but vibrant trajectory, oscillating between anchors of meaning amidst a cosmic ocean of ecstatic potential and possibility, noise and silence, matter, meaning, and the resonating chambers of nothingness.
