APOCRYPHON
Norea is plagued by a series of nightmares involving strange religious rites and a blind artisan. She seeks guidance from a medium - who realizes her true identity as the divine Sophia after her fall from grace. Dreaming of mysterious hooded figures trying to capture and confine her, Norea begins to lose her ability to distinguish dream from reality, while the medium enlists the help of the archons - the evil rulers of this world - to detain Norea and prevent her return to grace.
A student short experimental/horror film made for New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, inspired by the Gnostic myth of Sophia. Shot on Super 16mm.
