This is a film for:
Those who seek something real in the theatre
The diaspora, recognizing themselves before language arrives
Those who know the body hold the truth long before it is understood
And thinkers who question identity, performance, and self-perception

Altered: A Dancehall Queen is a psychological sci-fi drama centred around identity and the price of survival in a world where an emerging technology can read the human body as data, allowing users to realize their self-actualized/best lives. The film follows a single rupture in the system as the technology begins to interpret and reflect, triggering a butterfly effect that reveals the movements, duality, and fragmented self within its creator.
