"In only 28 minutes, the spectacle of this film toppled almost all of the features I saw in Park City combined...crazy ambitious...[a]nd it was a solar-powered production to boot!" - Michael Tully, Indiewire

Out Of Our Minds is the bloody, brash and berserk new brainchild of Melissa Auf der Maur, member of both Hole and Smashing Pumpkins! This half-hour short film, a companion piece to her second solo album of the same name, covers three time periods, all connected by a single mythological quest: the Hunt for the Heart. We follow Melissa in a strange ritual that climaxes in a collision between past and future, crashing through the gateway to parallel worlds in the same forest -- a fantasy realm where a Viking heart, a car crash and a bleeding forest connect. With no dialogue, the film instead uses the pulsing music of both Auf der Maur and The Entrance Band to tell a universal tale in striking optics. Directed by Tony Stone (Severed Ways: The Norse Discovery of America), this mini-epic is proudly self-produced, and shot entirely using solar power!
