S1NGULAR Short Film

S1NGULAR is a retro-psycho thriller about our sometimes narcissistic / sometimes solipsistic relationship to technology, ourselves and how we can evolve with it or succumb to its overreaching power. A scientist creates a companion in the image of a man he's falling out of love with, failing to reach perfection, and falling in love with a fiction of what the past never was.

Director Biography - Ramon J. Goni

As a versatile artist, my work spans from fashion and entertainment to sci-fi, film, and LGBTQ+ narratives.

Every project and collaboration I involve myself with stems from my passion to break barriers; To find solutions through film and storytelling. Over the last few years I directed and filmed the promotional campaigns for some of the most awarded international TV shows such as Netflix’s “The Crown”, “Narcos”, or Amazon’s "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel".

VANITY FAIR’s first-ever Hollywood Portfolio short film, went viral online and was featured as part of the official selection of several international fashion film festivals (London, Milan, Berlin) winning the fashion short of the year award at the Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia.

Director Statement

As a queer filmmaker, I seek to bring out relatability with those that the world typically labels as different. My venture into sci-fi stems from my longing to express my vision of a better, more inspiring future - stories rooted in the present and past.
