I’m very proud of this film, on which I’m an Executive Producer. Vanessa Hudgens is a revelation. Multi-hyphenate Anthony Thorne and his team knocked it out of the park as far as I’m concerned.

Stirner has no difficulty in showing that idea, consciousness or species are no less alienations than traditional theology. Relative re-appropriations are still absolute alienations. Competing with theology, anthropology makes me the property of Man.
