The Project

We all think of the future in some way. Whether it be in a personal, global, short term or long term sense, we all imagine what the future holds. I take into consideration the “I” generation. Today we see kids of ages as young as 3, if not younger, playing on Mum’s iPhone whist she stands in the istle of Woolworths deciding what to make for dinner tonight. Grown men, can no longer go to work, without listening to their tunes on the train. And the good old smell of library books are fading, as the libraries become less used every minute.

So what do you think the world will look like in 20 years? What devices and inventions are set to come our way? Will you drop your kids at school in a flying car? Will we actually be able to use teleportation? Well what if I tell you that all those things you dream about, think about and spend at least 10% of your day wondering about will never happen? This scenario is the essence of our main character, Abe.

This story to me captures the core of the human race and its emotions, relational issues, conflict, spirit, hopes and above all its reality. It is a reality that we all have some sort of dream and it is a reality that our lives on earth will eventually come to an end. But lets take into perspective what that reality or life is truly worth when you are at your end and your dreams have yet to come true. It leaves us with a feeling of hopelessness, despair and plain emptiness inside.

With the combination of reality and that what we know as fiction, the Sci-Fi element in this film will be what makes the film interesting and attention grabbing. The fact that it takes the audience on an array of different journeys will add not only to our lead characters but also to the imagination of our audience.
