The shift is about to hit the fan.

Overview

I AM is an utterly engaging and entertaining non-fiction film that poses two practical and provocative questions: what’s wrong with our world, and what can we do to make it better? The filmmaker behind the inquiry is Tom Shadyac, one of Hollywood’s leading comedy practitioners and the creative force behind such blockbusters as “Ace Ventura,” “Liar Liar,” “The Nutty Professor,” and “Bruce Almighty.” However, in I AM, Shadyac steps in front of the camera to recount what happened to him after a cycling accident left him incapacitated, possibly for good. Though he ultimately recovered, he emerged with a new sense of purpose, determined to share his own awakening to his prior life of excess and greed, and to investigate how he as an individual, and we as a race, could improve the way we live and walk in the world.

The link between body and mind is portrayed in the context of materialism; the importance of physical objects to express personal identity in the tangible world. Four categories are shown in the full installation that supported this film; everyday objects, clothing, makeup, and creations in the form of visual art. These form the pillars of self-expression, through which the soul can be made visible. This experimental film shows the union of the mind built from complex identity structures and memories, with the material extensions that hold this enormous value, becoming important to an individual's personal existence. Inspirations from several film and photo works, notably "All About Lily Chou-Chou" (Iwai), "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" (Sharman) and Ana Mendieta are incorporated throughout the video and accompanying photo installation.

CERN, the world's largest physics laboratory, is also a society in itself. A mythological microcosm and science's answer to the Tower of Babel, with its many thousand employees as an indispensable element among cables and computers. The researchers speak the same esoteric and nerdy language. But their physical trials are not the only experiments in the human anthill. CERN is also a utopian experiment in collaboration across cultures, where the world's most advanced technology meets the world's sharpest—and some of the quirkiest—minds.
