3. a dramatised conversation about the role of context in art; and "controversy creates cash" vs political societal concerns, ie boycotting of entertainment.
SYNOPSIS:
Trilogy of Creepy:
synopsis:
Trilogy of Creepy takes three conversations as 24min shorts and creates a consistent creepy conversational tone in each short story. Filmmakers accidentally summon a demon - a naked man wearing a demon mask, sitting on a stool, who appeared out of nowhere; While trying to make a film about summoning demons. A conversation about the creation of lasting and powerful larger-than-life villains running parallel to a story with b-movie homage about a villain-esque anti-hero the unfortunate rat-man and the wannabe hero - hacker boy. And a controversial conversation, political and intellectual, now dramatised.
A group of young guerilla filmmakers including two Jay and silent Bob-esque stoners, are trying to make a short movie on video about summoning demons. The stoners, in the middle of principal photography, find an ancient-looking inscription in the public loos and take a photo on their cell. The director decides to incorporate this message into the movie. And accidentally they summon a demon, for real.
2. The Analyst
is a conversation about creating a supervillain as iconic and lasting as the Joker and why that guy has been so huge, for so many successful iterations and for so long. While being a discussion about iconic villains, the plot running parallel to this conversation - focuses on an antihero; a young man who is bitten by a giant (dog-sized) deformed, hairless, mutant rat (with holographic eyes) which was living under his bed. As a result, he begins to change into a were-rat. Meanwhile, a young boy trying to fight crime as a genius hacker, discovers news about rat-man.
3. Art Vs Context
(going into a bit more detail with this one)
Act One: Two friends are meeting for a late lunch, it’s nearly 2:30pm, in town. Pinash, 21, is travelling by skateboard. Amber, 30, is arriving by bus. Pinash is a second generation New Zealander, his grandparents are from Kolkata. He’s a university student, hoping to start a creative technology R&D business with his step-brother. He is not very tall - 5.7’’, but he’s average figure 87kgs. He’s studying a double major in Interior Architecture and Industrial Design with a focus on toy design and digital spaces. Amber is a neo-punk, and is curvaceous, black-haired, with a calm face and a tan. She runs a modern art and underground local music national magazine. It is a popular magazine. The two met during study/work cramming at a local coffee shop, they both smoke cigarettes - that’s how they met. Amber asked for a cigarette and they smoked together and started chatting. They’ve known each other for a few months.
Act Two:
A young man, Daffold, 18 is seduced by a mature, sexy, younger girl, Athene, 16.
Act Three:
An older man, Henry, 21 flirts with and eventually makes out with a younger girl, Analese, 17.
Act Four:
An older man, Kevin, 48, gets drunk, does a few lines of cocaine and goes a little loose fondling a young boy, Thomas, 16, and sitting on one of them, Andrew, 17 and trying to kiss him. Kevin is an actor.
Act Five:
We return to the conversation between Amber and Pinash; the nature of their conversation is about - do we care about the context in which art is made, or should the work speak for itself - and what do we do about horrible people who create great art, should we be expected to boycott the work because we don't like its creator?
