This plays like a bunch of wannabe actors got together and pooled their money to make the movie they were never cast in due to a lack of talent. Surely some of them were conned, but they expect the rest of us to buy their con as well. Maybe out of some sense of shame? If I can con you into joining my hipster cult, I'll feel less shame that I got conned? Regardless, this is less documentary and more shameless performance art. And bad performance art at that.

Synopsis
Imagine you're handed an invitation with an address and an access code, but little to no other information. Do you go inside? If you're brave enough to enter, what you'll find on the other side of the door, through dark mazes and down twisting slides, is The Latitude Society, a secret group of curious and creative minds brought together to create transformative experiences. In Bright Axiom takes us on a docu-fantasy adventure to explore the unique and unusual House of the Latitude, where participants are forced to expand their notion of reality and their ability to trust the unknown in order to fully participate in this social experiment. Director Spencer McCall (The Institute, SF DocFest 2012) defies the code of absolute discretion to invite viewers inside the minds behind Nonchalance, the group of storytellers, designers, and artists that developed the Latitude Society and dared a community to embrace the unknown.

Axiom is Latin for Con?
What a bunch of weirdos...
Not sure if this was a real doc or a moc-doc, but whichever it was - it was weird. A group of "artists" who seemed like folks on the social fringe: mental issues, self esteem issues, the kind of people ONLY others like them would even bother with...cause they were all so weird and out there.
How easily manipulated some are
This mockumentary shows us how absolute desperate some individuals (read millennials) are to feel part of something. Something big. And important. While remaining on the fringe because they're edgy.
It was semi unbearable to listen to some of the blatherings in the confessional interviews.
Someone decided to string random words together and create a mock religion and pretend to chase self important and easily manipulated characters into thinking they were chosen.
I hope the people were all in on the joke. Bright axiom and high pretensioness.
I'm not sure I can watch it all. Does everyone involved in this get the gag? The con?
