Mattie Fresno and the Holoflux Universe instantly recalls What the Bleep Do We Know? from 2004. But the mixture of jumbled narrative and metaphysical musings simply doesn't work.

A Tale of Public Relations, Hallucination,
Assassination, and Theoretical Physics.
Mattie Fresno endures an uneventful life, until her
grandfather — Nobel physicist, Raff Buddemeyer,
leaves a videotaped will. Death, according to his
unorthodox theory, is no barrier to their relationship
and he promises to “always be there”. The message
triggers a series of hallucinations which quickly
disrupts Mattie’s world. At the family-owned PR firm,
she becomes involved in a bizarre plot to save the
reputation of the firm’s top client, Phoebe Lynn Slidell
— talk show host and exploiter of third world labor.
Mattie lands in jail for murder conspiracy, when
Phoebe Lynn is assassinated in revenge for a horrific
industrial accident. In her cell, Mattie discovers an
unexpected solution to her problems — according
to her grandfather — her freedom awaits in the
holoflux universe.--© Official Site

Reviews for Mattie Fresno and the Holoflux Universe
Pitched as a crypto-scientific yet sentimental satire about perception and reality, it's really just an unfunny, jumbled Charlie Kaufman-esque rip-off.
Ultimately, Mattie Fresno and the Holoflux Universe is a movie about big ideas that is simply too constrained by its theatrical staging necessitated by an apparently small budget.
