Jamin Winans’ Myth of Man Gets an Intriguing Teaser

If you’re unfamiliar with the work of Jamin Winans, then you’re missing out one of the more interesting indie filmmakers around. 2009’s Ink was a bizarre dream of a film packed with captivating images à la Terry Gilliam and Jean-Pierre Jeunet while 2014’s The Frame was a high-concept sci-fi film about faith and free will.

In 2020, Winans directed a documentary titled Childhood 2.0 about the effects of the internet on kids, but now he’s back with his first feature film in a decade. According to Winans, Myth of Man is “a sci-fi odyssey that’s epic in scope, but a very personal and intimate story about love and mortality.” As evidenced from the above teaser, the film — which Winans spent a decade making, and contains no spoken dialog — definitely taps into a bizarre steampunk vibe.

Myth of Man is currently set for a fall 2024 festival debut.
