Believing in the unbelievable is easy. 

Space-obsessed Sam is given an out-of-this-world opportunity the night of her 14th birthday. An alien (who looks suspiciously like her missing mother) promises a whirlwind adventure that will help Sam escape from the reality she’s living in. Instead of salvation the adventure leads to deadly repercussions. How to Believe in Anything explores what happens to the brain after sexual assault when you don’t have the language to process it, and how family trauma gets carried forward; intentionally and unintentionally.

“This is a show about how we can convince ourselves to believe in anything, no matter how impossible. And how, sometimes, that’s all we can do to survive. The digital edition let us tease out some of the more imaginary concepts in the show, creating a piece of hybrid theatre that bends perception and reality in ways the stage version couldn’t quite do.”
—Ariel Slack, Writer/Actor/Production Designer

“This film takes you in close and exposes the intimacy and vulnerability of Ariel Slack’s performance.  Simple, powerful design choices have elevated this Cultchivating The Fringe award winner to new heights.”
