Distant Worlds was made possible with a residency at nueBOX and was partially funded via a Vibrant City Grant from the city of Tempe.

The crux of project explores the internal struggle of modern masculinity, contemplating the physical, societal, emotional, and spiritual components of the structure and ideology of masculinity. As the work progresses, the layers of humanity slowly stripe away and the boundaries and structure remains ambiguous. From cradle to grave we are left with a bag of bones; does the human canvas births renewal or is this farewell?

Inspired by the prophetic tale of the four horsemen and apocalypse in the new testament, this concert piece mirrors the visions in the book of revelation with each reveal of horseman, the fate of humanity follows further down to the path of destruction. Distant Worlds channels the Biblical prophecy and focuses on the apocalyptic actions and thoughts within the soul of man.

The production of Distant Worlds began in the Fall of 2020 and the film production took places across three different Southwestern States, ranging from Death Valley, CA, Valley of Fire, NV, Chiricahua National Monument, AZ, and the Historical Monroe Abbey in downtown Phoenix. Distant Worlds premiered on 5/20/21 at the Tempe History Museum with a live performance and a film showcase.
