When the government attempts to produce a designer drug aimed at correcting the false perceptions that people develop during trauma and stress, the implications are deadly. Advertised as a cure for socio-political tensions, four couples volunteer, but end up with far more than they bargained for as their past and present are examined while taking variations of the new drug. However, this causes them to doubt their own memory, perceptions – and even their own sanity in this thriller in the vein of Disturbing Behavior and The Faculty.
Featuring a story by Jon Huertas and Jennifer Blanc-Biehn (Havenhurst, Dark Angel), the ensemble cast features Huertas (This is Us, Generation Kill, Castle), Jade Tailor (The Magicians, Aquarius, Murder in the First), Nichola Fynn (Hot in Cleveland, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides), and Matthew Ziff (Kickboxer: Vengeance, Trafficked).
“In a world where truth is questioned every day, ALTERED PERCEPTION raises the stakes in unforeseen ways,” says CEO Alex Cohen. “Taut and thrilling, with smart writing, a director with a fresh voice and a truly terrific ensemble cast, we’re certain it’s a film that will resonate with moviegoers everywhere.”
