Spirit Level

Directed by Highly Stimulating Productions, Spirit Level features Toni O'Rourke and Emmet Byrne in leading roles. The film is inspired by Seamus Heaney's poem Mycenae Lookout, which sets the stage for a deep exploration of trauma and identity.

The narrative follows Cassandra, a young actress who confronts her own experiences against the backdrop of historical conflict. The film delves into themes of emotional manipulation and the complexities of performance as a means of processing personal and collective histories.

As an exploration of cinema's role as an unreliable historian, Spirit Level invites viewers to consider how art reflects and distorts reality. Its focus on the interplay between identity and performance makes it a thought-provoking watch for those interested in narrative depth and psychological exploration.
