Experiencing Interruptions?

Ninja Unicorn

Eve and Adam attempt to get to know each other in a conversation through a wall. Each one in their own distinctive space try to see if this contact-less and merely despairing scenario can help the conversation reach to a point where they feel something real but their fear of revealing too much information is threatening to come in the way. Ninja Unicorn is a short film about the detachment and struggle of dating and being who you really are in a world saturated with social media FOMO and deceiving notion of endless opportunities.

Director Statement

I am often asked "How come a girl like you is single?" and the answer is always "it's complicated". I mean, how can you explain to someone who doesn't know what a struggle it actually is to get to know someone in this day and age, let alone, meet them in person- how hard it actually is? How can you explain that it's like a meat market, or better say, a catalogue where you can just pick and choose who you like but they have to like you back and even then, the options are so endless that why would anyone engage in an actual texting session. I'm not even talking about an actual conversation, where two people actually speak to each other on the phone or God forbid, actually meet each other for a date. Dating sucks too but there's a phase before dating where a whole generation has gotten used to ghosting, ignoring, not really giving a real chance. And if you actually start texting with someone, they never know your tone nor your personality and it's extremely easy to just dehumanize them thinking it's a bot instead of an actual person. I feel as if I ambled along in the vicinity of social median dating apps long enough to actually acknowledge that there's something wrong in the way we treat each other, that loneliness is real and the person on the other side of a chat is also real. So I sat down and wrote "Ninja Unicorn". A short film which is a love letter to my generation about how effortlessly we dismiss each other. About how the struggle is real. About how we are REAL. Enter the world of "Ninja Unicorn" and brace yourself- it's gonna hurt.
