The Three Trials

About Me

..THE THREE TRIALS PREMIERED IN SWITZERLAND AT THE LAUSANNE UNDERGROUND FILM FESTIVAL ON OCTOBER 12 AND 13 TO TWO SOLD OUT SHOWS. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO AND HERE FOR PICS OF THE EVENT. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ TO COINCIDE WITH THE PREMIER, THE THREE TRIALS WAS RELEASED ON DVD AND IS NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON, FILMBABY, SOLEILMOON AND MY OWN WEBSITE THETHREETRIALS.COM +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Adventures in psychotica... The Three Trials uses a ground-breaking approach incorporating surreal story-telling, music videos, computer enhanced abstraction, and fetishistic sex to tell the twisted fairy tale of Catherine, a nun with a unique form of narcolepsy, and her adventures in search of devotion. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Catherine witnesses the sexual encounter of the Father of her convent and the Mother Superior. For her “crime” of being a witness, she is taken to a gothic cathedral (portrayed as a monstrous boiler room in a fire-destroyed building) and is made to confess, under the shady and powerful hands of “The Fixer” and “The Right Arm Of God“. She dreams of living in a lovely castle, and inhabits that dream, until she learns of a plan to sacrifice her because she has become an object of sexual desire for the rulers of the castle. With the help of her friend, Julia, Catherine escapes by sewing herself into the skin of the fox in the fox hunt. Surrounding the castle, in the forest, she encounters a furry beast who saves her from the hunters and takes her to live with him in a cave. As they fall in love, he becomes more human, but as he evolves, finally into a plastic surgeon, he becomes more cruel, but she insists on even more cruel behavior. It remains unclear as to whether these events are part of Catherine’s own fantasy world, or, in fact, actually happening. Catherine is treated to small kindnesses and formal romance in between acts of masochistic perversion. In a desperate attempt to completely disappear into her lover, she demands for him to take away her free will and to live in a state of complete devotion. At the conclusion, Catherine is taken to “the theater” where that devotion is put to the ultimate test in what becomes a ritual of transformation.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++The soundtrack features musical artists from the post-industrial, ambient and uncategorizable music world, including ~Nurse With Wound~ ~SPK~ ~Rapoon~ ~Controlled Bleeding~ ~Lustmord~ ~Illusion Of Safety~ ~Muslimgauze~ ~Shadowbug 4~ ~Skin Chamber~ ~Colorblind James Experience~+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++ Click on VIDEOS to see two trailers and PICS to see some stills from the film +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ More about my feature film at WWW.THETHREETRIALS.COMand about my music at [email protected] +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++O H...MY PROFILE IMAGE IS A PAINTING BY A VERY COOL ARTIST NAMED LYNN FOULKES.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++ The Three Trials trailer 1
