The Factory

Creative Direction, Design & Animation

Synopsis

Life is short, in fact it’s just six lessons. In a world controlled by the Overseer, our hero enters the world as a new-born. Will they achieve enlightenment and become conscious enough to break free or will history repeat itself?

Controlled by the Overseer, Phoenix enters the world as a new-born, to set off on the journey of life. Phoenix learns existence has been condensed into six video messages (infant, schoolboy, lover, soldier, justice, old man) taken from an ancient archive whose meanings have long been forgotten.

The Factory is an interpretation of Shakespeare’s sonnet “All the World’s a Stage” mixed with George Orwell’s 1984 and Aldous Huxley’s “A Brave New World”.
