Project Outlines
Structure
An experimental short. The story is made of ruminations in the form of voice-over, that is inspired by Pluto's Cave allegory.
Shot with every available camera across three continents over the span of five years this video collage can best be described as an experience.
Main Ideas
The film attempts to explore the nature of reality and how our perception of the daily life can be different from others.
In deeper layers the film aims to highlight, how screens and the entertainment has risen to the point where our addiction to it undermines our independent thinking, our understanding of reality and our relationships.
Execution
No screenplay, no notes, no outlines and no plan. Each shot was an instinctive response to feelings that were otherwise impossible to express.
The filming is still in progress and editing is simultaneously beginning to shape form.
