Virtually

VIRTUALLY began when I was walking down the hallway at work one day and thinking about the prior few years of my time writing and working on scripts with various producers and realizing that not only had none of the scripts been produced but none of the projects were stories that really resonated with me. And while walking down this hallway I made a promise to myself that I would make a film, not just write it, but actually make a film that I myself would have been a fan of as an audience member.

I wanted to make a movie that I wouldn’t just be proud of as a filmmaker but also make a movie that I would love as an audience member.

So right there, while standing in the hallway, I came up with the setting and the main character and the basic story, based on my love of science fiction and more specifically allegorical science fiction; stories set on a distant world or in a distant future that comment on the human condition and are applicable to our world of today.

And before long I had come up with a story that is a study in survival with the central theme being, “Is survival really survival if you are all alone? Is life worth living without human interaction? Are you really alive if you are completely alone?”

It took slightly more than two years to get from that moment standing in the hallway and promising myself that I would make this film to now sending the finished film out into the world. It’s been a wonderful journey of setbacks and obstacles and special moments made out of adversity and I now have a final film that I am quite proud to have made and very much excited to slip into a theater seat and watch as just another audience member.
