An interesting look at what people are willing to believe when it comes to their own insecurities. The cinematography is pretty wild and the idea is cool. It's definitely a documentary that will have you googling after!

5.8Plot summary
Imagine you're handed an invitation with an address and an access code, but little to no other information. Do you go inside? If you're brave enough to enter, what you'll find on the other side of the door, through dark mazes and down twisting slides, is The Latitude Society, a secret group of curious and creative minds brought together to create transformative experiences. In Bright Axiom takes us on a docu-fantasy adventure to explore the unique and unusual House of the Latitude, where participants are forced to expand their notion of reality and their ability to trust the unknown in order to fully participate in this social experiment. Director Spencer McCall (The Institute, SF DocFest 2012) defies the code of absolute discretion to invite viewers inside the minds behind Nonchalance, the group of storytellers, designers, and artists that developed the Latitude Society and dared a community to embrace the unknown.

Weird americans are weird
So apparently american culture has created a disjointed society which in turn has produced enough lonely and bored people, desperate for connection and meaningful experiences, that their needs could be capitalized on by a company providing a secret society or -depending on how you look at it- "cult" experience. Art is essential, so is a sense of belonging and good intentions are laudable, still I cannot help but feel perturbed by the fact that someone came up with this idea and others bought into it.

Axiom is Latin for Con?
This plays like a bunch of wannabe actors got together and pooled their money to make the movie they were never cast in due to a lack of talent. Surely some of them were conned, but they expect the rest of us to buy their con as well. Maybe out of some sense of shame? If I can con you into joining my hipster cult, I'll feel less shame that I got conned? Regardless, this is less documentary and more shameless performance art. And bad performance art at that.
