ABOUT TETHERED TO THE ETHER:
Released from a mental health facility after recovering from a tragic accident, Tulip Leneu lives in a purgatorial state between the natural world and dream world. Bound to her dead lover through a suicide pact gone wrong, Tulip’s semi-lucid daily wanderings and mind-bending fever dreams are clouded by trauma, obsession, heartbreak, and unanswered questions regarding the missing body of her lost love. Meanwhile, dark forces are at work when Tulip unwittingly stumbles into the world of the Roma Key Club and its henchmen, with concurrent storylines of necromancy, supernatural procreation, personal limbo, and practical magic.
Tethered to the Ether spins a dark, mesmerizing tale that’s as psychologically nerve wracking as it is beautifully surreal. Thomsen’s distinctive style as an assemblage sculptor is central to the film’s aesthetic, with intricately detailed, hand-built sets and props, dozens of incredible abandon locations shot guerrilla-style, and a haunting, hypnotic score composed by Thomsen himself, with additional musical interludes by Mike Gunther, Nico V. Isotalo, and Waveless.
Fully self-funded and filmed over the course of 8 years, Thomsen’s film is a highly visual work of art as well as a flowing, narrative-driven story, loosely based on Thomsen’s real life experiences as a resident in a mental health facility in the 1980s.
Starring Clare Hoogesteger, Mike Gunther, John Tribbett, Nico V. Isotalo, and Martin Stolen.
