| Submission declined on 13 March 2025 by Sophisticatedevening (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of films). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Sophisticatedevening 51 days ago. | |

Myth of Man is a 2025 American independent science fiction fantasy film written, directed, scored, and edited by Jamin Winans of Ink and The Frame. Produced by Kiowa K. Winans under Double Edge Films, the film is notable for its absence of spoken dialogue, relying instead on visual storytelling and an original musical score.[1] The narrative follows Ella, a deaf-mute woman navigating a surreal city threatened by a mysterious red cloud. The film stars Laura Rauch, Anthony Nuccio, Martin Angerbauer, Jason Stoval, and Ian Hinton.[2]
Plot
[edit]The film follows Ella, a young woman who cannot speak or hear, yet perceives signs and symbols in the world around her that others cannot. When she becomes convinced she has received a message from her creator, she embarks on a bold and mysterious quest to unite chosen individuals in a desperate effort to summon the creator’s return.[3]
As Ella journeys through a surreal, decaying city haunted by a deadly red cloud, she faces both internal and external obstacles, each encounter deepening her understanding of love, loss, mortality, hope, and faith.[4]
Production
[edit]Myth of Man was largely financed by Winans and his wife by selling their house and moving to Budapest, Hungary where shooting commenced in the fall of 2019. After six weeks of shooting, the Winans had to shut down production due to difficulty with a lead cast member.[5] The couple then moved to rural Kentucky and built a 40ft x 96ft greenhouse as a "poor mans" green screen stage and started the production from the beginning again.[5] The greenhouse barn let in diffused soft light akin to the early silent film era. This led to finishing 3,500 effects shots in post-production between just Jamin and Kiowa and the help of a rotoscoper in Brazil. The post-production took 3.5 years to complete.[5]
Release
[edit]Myth of Man opened a limited theatrical release on January 24, 2025.[6] On March 25th, 2025, the film was made available on VOD and Blu-ray.[7]
Reception
[edit]Upon its release, Myth of Man received generally positive reviews from audiences and some independent film critics, though reactions varied. The film was frequently praised for its visual composition, original score, and soulful thematic ambition, with several reviewers highlighting its philosophical approach. However, some critics noted that the abstract narrative structure and deliberate pacing might limit its appeal to broader audiences.[2][7][8][4]
