Our First feature length film! A “psy-fi” Thriller:
Sync is a “psy-fi” film set In the micro-chipped near future where a lonely young woman, determined to foster a new friendship, must stop a mind-sync in less than 72 hours before she loses control of her own thoughts.
In the microchipped near-future, in the city of Los Angeles, where the human mind is uploaded to the cloud and thoughts can be used to communicate between synced individuals, a young anxious woman, Ayla, decides to move in with a new roommate, Devin, who is a childhood friend from her past. The women decide to sync their minds for a chance to foster a new close friendship. Afterwards, Ayla notices some very disturbing behavior from Devin. As their relationship quickly grows toxic, and Ayla starts dreaming about Devin’s memories, Ayla realizes she has less than 72 hours to save herself from being permanently mentally dominated by a narcissist before the sync is officially complete.
Technology in this film is truly just the vessel for the underlying themes of toxic relationships and narcissism, specifically through the female lens.
While our characters may exhibit some “tech-no” gaslighting. Technology advances aren't the real horror in this film. We, as humans, are naturally flawed and that translates to the way we use new tech. This film questions the near future if tech continues to advance without us putting any protection systems in place. It also questions what our society might look like.
If we are so in sync with one another as a society, what separates us and makes us different? Who are the individual users and what are their intentions?
