TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES is a speculative documentary about time and how we weave the past into the present and our possible future. Subtly set in a near future when commercial space travel is common, the film follows five residents of the small desert town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, living in the shadow of the world’s first public Spaceport.
Anchored in observational documentary footage filmed over three years, the film weaves together archival material, experimental virtual reality worlds, an improvised score by Bill Frisell, and a speculative premise based on current events to create a lyrical meditation on progress, history, and how we navigate a sense of loss within ourselves and a changing world.
