Eyeball (2015)

Our story follows Jack who is an amiable, grounded guy who is very passionate about music, travel and, once they meet, Jennifer. In a 'not quite here, not quite now' world, things are looking up for our lovebirds, he likes her, she likes him and love is in the air. Then Jack starts to notice something happening around him, something creeping, something he can only see in the corner of his Eyeball. This short film is all about the difference between human interdependence and 'virtual' interdependence. We crave experience, but increasingly we seek that experience through the flat screens which we carry in our pockets, our purses, that surround us in our homes; screens that seem to follow us everywhere we go. Television, laptops, tablets, phones and now eyewear have seduced us into a reality that has nothing to do with the touch of a hand, a whisper in the ear or a simple kiss on the cheek. We want people to realize progress has never been a simple bargain - there are always hidden costs!
