Jack plots deadly revenge and falls into a dizzying maze of encounters with underworld characters, desert brujas, and a twist of fate he never saw coming or...did he?

Editorial Reviews
"The complex, expertly constructed story involves a struggle for succession, a murder, and a demonic possession. The twists of the story kept me glued to the screen through several viewings... Absolutely riveting... The cinematography is gorgeous... A stellar cast... Entertaining and funny... The film's great depth and power will keep you thinking for a very long time."

"To Dream of Falling Upwards is Antero Alli's most accessible film to date, both visually, and narratively. If you want to go on a mystical journey tinged with Crowleyana, humour, intrigue, and Carlos Castaneda, but don't want the usual Kenneth Anger rip-offs, this film will serve you extremely well."

"It's not to be missed. This is a work of art and magic. I can't do it justice, but strongly recommend it. Word to the wise: avoid thinking that any of it is commentary on existing Orders of Thelemites. The Thelemic material is just the context, and it's really about the characters and their deep flaws, and how these develop and change in the context of magical practice."
- Joseph Thiebes, Thelemite, Priest of Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica
