A First Look at the Sci-Fi Fantasy Journey Set for Fall 2024
Jamin Winans, the visionary behind the indie sci-fi sensation Ink and its successor The Frame, has returned to the director's chair with his new venture, "MYTH OF MAN." This sci-fi fantasy feature, crafted over a decade, is poised for a fall 2024 debut, marking Winans' boldest project to date. Produced across the scenic landscapes of Budapest, Hungary, and the serene rural areas of Kentucky, the film is now nearing the completion of its post-production phase.
"MYTH OF MAN" has been a decade of my life. It's a vast world with wild characters and it was daunting and a joy to juggle such an expansive story without the use of words. This is the most ambitious film we have ever tackled." - Jamin Winans, Writer/Director
Echoing the success of Winans' popular short, Spin—also recognized by the moniker "God is a DJ"—"MYTH OF MAN" unfolds without any spoken dialogue, instead embracing a narrative deeply rooted in music to craft its fantastical journey. Winans refrains from labeling the project as a traditional musical, preferring to describe it as "musically driven." This approach saw him simultaneously developing the screenplay and composing the score over a span of three years, a creative process supported by his wife and seasoned collaborator, Kiowa Winans.
"Jamin wanted "MYTH OF MAN" to break new ground cinematically. The film is grandiose and magical, but equally personal and hand-crafted. The no-dialogue nature rewards your full attention and we are excited for audiences to share the experience on the big screen." - Kiowa Winans, Producer
"MYTH OF MAN" boasts an international ensemble, featuring Austrian actress Laura Rauch and returning Winans collaborator Anthony Nuccio. The cast is further enriched by Martin Angerbauer, Jason Stoval, and promising young talent Ian Hinton, weaving a global tapestry of actors for this silent narrative.
While specifics of the plot remain shrouded in mystery, the anticipation for "MYTH OF MAN" continues to build, promising a cinematic journey unlike any other.
