- Synopsis
- As Strange As Angels is a time-twisting film of good against evil. It tells a
  story of humanity and the grounding, undeniable power of human will.
  Through the juxtaposition of positive and negative forces, the consequences
  of disregard to our individual purposes, parallels the liberation that comes
  with empathy and connection. By transcending time and reality, the dual
  narrative explores the debate of nature vs nurture, and their impact on
  our spiritual purpose.
  The film rejects conventions of mainstream sci-fi that conforms to an action
  orientated spectacle, and instead focuses on the why rather than the what,
  allowing for a thoughtful production. The time travel element is introduced
  slowly throughout the film to enable the focus to be placed on character
  development, and the intricacies of their relationships.
  Tee Hudson, the centre of both narratives, is a testament to the parts of life
  that objectively we don’t need to survive, such as art, love, compassion, and
  yet in reality, are the parts of life that we strive to have the most. We are
  introduced to Tee as the perfect man: both phenomenally successful and
  humble, a charitable man with a happy wife and a happy life. A man who’s
  artistic skill allowed him an audience that would fall at his feet, and one
  who used his profits to bring good globally.
  
  But, during the film we are returned to the opening scene of his childhood,
  and a new reality unfolds, one that had been altered from the previous.
  Within this new world, it becomes gradually apparent that Tee’s art and the
  value of it, challenged and provoked both the good and the bad in the future
  of his society.
  In this second world, a greed ridden corporation of the future ordered the killing
  of Tees mother during his childhood, redirecting his life into deprivation.
  They travel back in time to Tee and purposefully strips him as a child of all happiness
  and support. By the time he is an adult they send him a cyborg in place of his partner,
  to intentionally prevent him from ever finding happiness or success. Dragged down
  by the schemes of Planet X’ and cyborg who separated him from his mother,
  they then go on to separate him from his only child. Tee is driven to suicide, leaving
  a legacy of artwork to the hands of Planet X, while Tee passes, unaware of the
  wealth and possibilities his talent should have brought him.
  However, the vision of a young woman in the second world, compels courage in her
  boyfriend and herself, to discover how Planet X have used time travel. In doing
  so, they become aware of how they steal from the talents of the past, creating
  a totalitarian dystopia the couple know as reality, ultimately confirming the woman’s
  vision. With their sacrifice, they manage to restore Tee’s first reality and are on the path to destroying Planet X's distorted future.
