In an alternative present, through the government app “eyEternity” the spouses can see live on a smartphone not only what their partner sees, but also their dreams: in this way, their mutual fears and hidden desires are constantly spied on. At first, the two main characters of the story happily welcome the app: they work at different time-shifts, one person during the night and the other during the day, and app “eyEternity” allows them to be constantly in contact with each other. But at some point, the dark sides of this total transparency start showing and everything degenerates…
THE PROJECT
“eyEternity” is a sci-fi project for a short movie that tries to imagine the side-effects of technology and the consequences of an excess of surveillance and life-sharing in relationships and people’s daily lives. The teaser, set in a futurist Milan, is conceived as a fake advertisement of the smartphone app “eyEternity” in which some important aspects of the film are shown: the excess of control, the bond between money and freedom, and the role of emotions in a technocratic society.
WHO WE ARE
BUDGET
The total budget is of 13.500 euros and is based on six days of shooting. The cost estimation has been reduced as much as possible to increase the possibilities of campaign’s success. Indeed, the four of us will be working with no fee.
Please find below the graphic with the costs divided into macro areas.
NOTE: In case we exceed the minimum budget of 13.000 euros, the extras will be used to improve the post-production and promotion activities.
We are very excited to start this journey, as this is the very first time that we are dealing with a project of this complexity. Our goal is to go through all the phases of the project in time, creating a detailed production and post-production plan. The biggest risk of this project is the money, and we hope to provide a product to those who will finance us up to what we have in mind.
