About the film (concept and premise)

Permeation is a film enveloped by the creative body, and by that, is itself a manifestation of the very idea; that the creative body is something alive, which, like us, seeks to not only exist but to thrive. Sometimes through painting, through sound, through film...

An artist creates a "body of work", Is permeated by the work itself. Becomes the body.

And with that we, the artists, consider ourselves the creators, naturally.

But consider the creative body; a living thing in itself, seeking to create...a body...of work.

And the artist; an outlet for something which needs an outlet to thrive.

Permeation proposes that an artist is not necessarily only himself. That an artist in solitude can create a "body of work" but not without he, himself, becoming an expression of the "creative body", thereby becoming a part of a "body of work" in his own right and at his own origin. The artist becomes the paint brush of a living organism we call the "creative body".

_______

That said, either at it's root or superficially, the film is a love story about an artist living in solitude who falls in love with a woman who becomes obsessed with the body of work he creates. In the end, she becomes absorbed by the creative body and literally becomes the artist's work. A love story which is inherently dark.

This is a feature length film with a professional cast and crew, co-written, directed and scored by artist Arius Blaze with a story based on an unpublished novel written by Arius.

Who is Arius Blaze?

Arius is a 34 year old artist known mostly for his work over the past 13 years in the instrumental sound arts (under the current name folktek; see folktek.com). Though he's also an inventor, painter, writer and composer who's now venturing deeper into film making.

His art has a certain aesthetic that is evident in his instruments but also extends into the rest of his work. That being something naturally old and dark, verging on colorless, somewhat experimental and yet often rather strange and beautiful..."
