The Sons of RA is essentially a work of imaginative fiction to some degree inspired to some degree by  delusional conspiracy theories.

We wanted to steer away from conventional Hollywood story format toward exploring an irrational dream topography. The words dream, drama and trauma are apparently claimed to be related etymologically. Whether or not they are, their meanings certainly triangulate. Trauma and it's attempted resolution is central to most cinematic and theatrical dramas. This wobbly, free radical molecule like integration enables a high degree of improvisation around a flexible structure. Cinema then experienced as a form of public dreaming as initially random juxtapositions bond conceptually within a shifting imaginary framework to generate new meaning.
