THE MULTIDIMENSIONALS, 90min., USA
Directed by Ewa Pirog-Rojas
"The Multidimensionals" tells the beginnings of STAR ENVOY, an unacknowledged Defense Intelligence Agency Operations Group assigned to protect US interests among the galactic community via specialized "ambassadors" whom are alien hybrids. It follows Ulrin, a lifetime government grey man, and alien hybrid, as he recruits the specialized ambassadors from different walks of life (Anuba, Karson, and Phoebe). It also goes into their encounters with different galactic species (Annunaki, Arcturian, Grey, Reptilians, and others). In a parallel timeline, he is his Native American self seeing the recruits and sometimes providing commentary from his POV to Ulrin, the government employee. The work stands alone as a feature film or can be the pilot episode. Work is 90 minutes along with an additional 10 minutes of bloopers and credits. Shot on 35 mm Department of Defense camera - digitized and a BlackMagic 6K Pro.

Get to know the filmmaker:

1. What motivated you to make this film?

Grew up watching science fiction and loved the genre. If it had a star in its name I've watched it! Today's science fiction genre could benefit from a female's perspective.

2. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film? About a year for all phases of the pilot, and picture lock for a first season of the series.

3. How would you describe your film in two words!? F-cking Fabulous!

4. What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film? We made this film between Alex and myself filling in all of the roles with no budget. Passion, endurance, and tenacity were our budget. Our love for making something that is different and ours was our currency.

5. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? Very informative, positive, helpful, and appreciative for the opportunity.

6. When did you realize that you wanted to make films? My background is in arts but was always limited to smaller scales and focusing on print design rather than media. When the opportunity presented itself to work on something not requiring a crazy number of investors and budgets I jumped in with both feet.

7. What film have you seen the most in your life? It's a toss up between "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back" and Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon"

8. What other elements of the festival experience can we and other festivals implement to satisfy you and help you further your filmmaking career? I really like sharing with likeminded people and getting the feedback along with promotion of the project so that more people can see it.

9. You submitted to the festival via FilmFreeway. How has your experiences been working on the festival platform site?

Positive.

10. What is your favorite meal?

Pierogi.

11. What is next for you? A new film?

Completing season 1 of the series and getting it out there. It's a fascinating and wild ride.
