In the future, non-neurotypical people — demonized by society as “twists” or “abnorms” — are threatening the status quo of the “normal” population with their unique gifts. They are officially labeled as “Brilliants” and are carefully tracked by the government.
Lynn Shelton's "My Effortless Brilliance" is a study in the relationship between cocky, fussy, thoroughly-city-mouse author Eric (Sean Nelson) and his ex-best-friend, the tersely powerful journalist and wood-chopper Dylan (Basil Harris). Dylan, fed up with Eric's self-involved antics, dumps him and disappears to live in a log cabin in the woods of Eastern Washington; two years later, Eric arrives (sporting a Prius, white sneakers, and a fear of spiders) to mend the friendship.
Based on the poem 'Arriving' by Gillian Sze, the film delves into her family’s history and studies the relationship between her father, grandfather and herself. Through the examining of an inherited stamp collection, the cultivating of plants and the preparing of wonton soup, the piece investigates the mechanics of capture and the interwoven resonances between film and poetry.
