Director Elliott Gonzo explained: “My latest project explores a dystopian future where young people are trapped in a world increasingly dominated by technology and cities are transformed into liquid metal. This is like opening Pandora's Box. A powerful symbol of the unchecked proliferation of AI.'' The story culminates with each character being inexorably coated in liquid silver and their inevitable assimilation with the technology they were trying to escape. The film was made with extensive CGI work by him, and no AI was involved in the filmmaking process. Much love to the amazing team who pulled this piece out of the bag. ”
Elliott Gonzo's filmmaking approach delves into the complexities of human emotion, creating captivating alternate worlds and realities, seamlessly blending fantasy with deeply emotional storytelling.
