Project Synopsis
Logline: A young journalist interviews the former head of the Environmental Purification Department regarding a mysterious Sailor and the time-bending connection that brought them together. Our film is driven by an interview that's brought to life by our cast, leaving ample room for improv and play for the actors. A great piece for those looking for a challenge.
Synopsis:
We’re dropped in the middle of a 3-hour interview between Isla Rie and the terminally ill, former director of the Environmental Purification Department (EPD), Dr. Mogana Imbata. The gloves are off with niceties out of the way as Isla struggles to verify even the smallest of details. Having spent decades leading the covert department, Dr. Imbata is well-versed in duplicitous double speech and circumventing persistent truth-seekers.
However, Isla has gathered evidence not only linking the EPD to some of the most important technological achievements in human history, but also to a horrifying past. As their conversation weaves from MK Ultra to string theory, Dr. Imbata slowly reveals a hidden organization pursuing an international agenda to study history’s most challenging question: Who is the Sailor?
Frustrated by Isla’s relentless line of questioning, Dr. Imbata nearly ends their conversation before Isla produces an unmarked VHS tape. Sliding it into the VCR, the truth behind the Sailor and the dark, time-bending connection between Isla and Dr. Imbata is finally revealed.
We will be following safety guidelines and will have a Covid-19 Safety Protocol for this shoot. Masks will be worn at all times unless rolling. Distancing when possible. We are also a small crew in order to ensure safety for everyone involved.
