The Secret of Suranesh

Story

A young man from a high mountain tribe has been told by his mother that he is not her son, and not one of them. She says that he must leave his village and seek out his own origins. In a quest that stretches across a continent, Suranesh meets four remarkable elders, a dispersed order of priests who went into exile before the kingdom in which they were living was destroyed by cataclysms, culminating in the great flood remembered in the myths and ancient stories of virtually every people on earth, the memory of "Atalan."

In the process of investigating his own origins, Suranesh learns the history of the kingdom that has just been destroyed, and suspects that he is destined to be the new king of the land. But what he gains on his journey is much more than the kingdom he desires.

Shot entirely on public lands in Texas by first-time filmmakers Jay Galvan and Avrel Seale, The Secret of Suranesh constitutes a watershed moment in guerilla filmmaking, as well as a profound spiritual exploration and an allegory for the long journey of humanity.
