Experiencing Interruptions?

Perfect

In a world where the earth is split into two strictly repressed societies, two young adults try to find answers and salvation in the form of emotions and colors while still trying to fall in line with societal rules.

Perfect is the first chapter in a story centered on two young adults from two very different societies that both face similar repression in the worlds they live in. H3134 is a young woman who lives in a monotonous society that lives a literal bleak, black and white lifestyle where showing any emotions and falling out of social rules is banned. All civilians in this world must dress, walk, talk, and live the same. Dax lives in an eccentric hemisphere that is only filled with vibrant colors and "happiness." Everyone must smile at all times and any other form of emotion other than joy is banned from this world.

This story tells the beginning tale of these two young adults trying to survive while hiding the secret that they do not fit in in their respective worlds.

Director Statement

PERFECT is inspired by a song that talked about societal issues, of how in actuality we are all live in a cookie-cutter repressed world even if we do not notice it. The idea of having a highly saturated world and a black and white world comes from the thought of no matter how happy or organized things seem to be there is always some ugliness to the truth on how to keep order maintained. Though in saying this what I wanted the audience to feel is hope and salvation: there is always something to look forward to, you just have to look for it. No matter how bleak things look, be the person who you want to be and don't fall under societal repression, In actuality, if you do not fit in does not mean you should be forced to do so.
I also just want to say thank you to everyone who supported and even gave your time to watch this. This is the first time I directed a short film, so I am really excited! This is only the beginning
