Artist Oliver Black (Xander Berkeley) wakes to discover his wife Evelyn (Sarah Clarke) has died in their bed overnight. Brimming with magical realism, we enter a world in which the misconceptions of our belief in a solid reality are revealed. Space and time bend in a way to challenge the audience with what is real, what is illusion, and what is beyond…

This peaceful and hypnotic quiet is interrupted by the outside world and the threat of everyday, common reality, thanks to Oliver’s art dealer (Mink Stole).

ALCHEMY OF THE SPIRIT (2022) official trailer [yang] from Steve Balderson on Vimeo.

The film is directed and co-written by Steve Balderson. It stars it’s other co-writers Xander Berkeley and Sarah Clarke.

I’ve watched the trailer a couple of times, and the synopsis is interesting. But, I feel like this one might be a little “high-brow” and arthousey  for me.

If you are so inclined, Alchemy of the Spirit is currently playing on Amazon right now.
