The
Amaranth is an open-ended--and possibly infinite--movie
produced and presented in parts by Chattanooga filmmaker
Jarrod Whaley. New, sequentially numbered parts appear from
time to time on this
Web site, viewable either directly on the Web or via
a video podcast. Largely unscripted and improvised, each
part builds upon the direction taken in the last, so that
the overarching story of this non-finite film seems to write
itself in a very real way. The Amaranth, Volume 1--a
90-minute feature consisting of the first 20 parts--is,
then, the first segment of a larger, longer work (of as-yet
undetermined length), though to some extent it also stands
alone, just as would be the case with the first feature-length
installment of a traditional film trilogy, for example.
Synopsis:
When an ordinary man plants a seemingly ordinary seed in
an ordinary terra cotta pot, he sees the world around him
begin to change in startling--and often frightening--ways.
The seed's germination begins to incite as well as mirror
the changes taking place in the man's life, leading him
on a metaphysical journey toward a more fruitful phase of
existence.
