Short science fiction film The Edenbound concerns the dehumanizing and indoctrinating effects of the war

War teaches certainty. Empathy complicates him. In Edenbounddirector Andrew McGee He leaves us in the future in which loyalty is scheduled, the emotions are repressed and a young pilot finds himself at the breaking point between both.

The short film focuses on Cara, a young soldier raised in a company grasped by an infinite planetary war. When he chose to command the ship of his deceased mother for a critical strike of the new-nuclear, it seems the last honor, until his profession crashes in the depths of the enemy territory.

Angtized in the mysterious city of the echoes, dear makes a single human connection that begins to reveal everything that has been conditioned to believe.

Suddenly, the mission is not just that of performing orders, it is a question of interrogating those who have given them first.

The official logline reads: “In the midst of an endless planetary war, the loyalty of a pilot is tested when crashing into the enemy territory, where he has to face a devastating decision between duty and compassion”.

Mcgee describes Edenbound as a reflection on how war removes individuality and empathy:

“In Eenbound, I wanted to tell a story about the dehumanizing and indoctrinating effects of the war, in particular by attracting parallels to the current conflicts of the real world, something that science fiction is positioned uniquely to explore.”

Although the nucleus of the film is a deeply personal moral dilemma, Edenbound Does not skimp on the area. Mcgee and his team used virtual production to build a surprising futuristic world on an independent scale:

“While the narrative is contained and intimate, I was eager to create a true sense of flow and show that is often seen as out of reach on an independent production. We obtained this by exploiting the power of virtual production and combining it with the exceptional skills of each creative department.”

“From the piloting cabin built intricately and the design of the caring costume to the coordinated lighting and to the agile chamber chamber, it was rewarding to see so many talents joined perfectly to create such a compelling and engaging world.”

To his heart, Edenbound It is a story about the collision of the belief and experience of what happens when the stories we told about “the other part” are faced with the reality of shared humanity.
