THE sTORY ECHO FADE REFLECT - INFINATE

ECHO FADE REFlECT - INFINATE a Transmedia Action/sci-Fi film by
J. Kimo Arbas Its the story of a graffiti artist struggling with
his sanity as the walls of reality crumble around him, awakening
his true lifes destiny... The story of Aidas, a driven and prolific
graffiti artist who is suddenly plagued by intense visions. He
feels as if he is experiencing events from the future and the past,
middle ages, WW II. Unable to comprehend what is happening to him,
he thinks he is loosing his mind and consults his best friend Iris
One, who urges him to paint more in order to release the pent up
creative energy within him. He later realizes that his visions are
not hallucinations at all, but dopplegangers from parallel
dimensions tearing the fabric of his reality as they invade his
world which they may ultimately destroy... The story and the
universe of this project are the result of intense reasearch and
work that I have been fully engulfed in for the better part of a
decade. It is based on true stories, some of which were told to me
by my grand father who was involved in the anti-nazi and
anti-soviet underground resistance in Lithuania during WWII. As
well as stories taken from my life, my friends lives, the
subcultures that I grew up in, quantum science and the philosophy,
morals and world view of the ancient Lithuanian mythology and
spirituality which is based on moral harmony.
