My brother Brian and I are a couple of Southern California filmmakers who recently completed a horror sci-fi thriller in San Diego called “Friend of the World.” Our world premiere is set at the 2020 Oceanside International Film Festival on August 15th. Because of the COVID19 restrictions, the festival will take place virtually online.
-The story was influenced by then-current global and political anxieties when it was written in 2016.
-It’s a post-apocalyptic film that takes place in a military bunker and features body horror and darkly absurd satirical humor.
-The picture stars two San Diego based theater actors: opposites in age, gender and race.
-With a growing relevance to current events, the film retains its universal qualities about how “good” and “evil” are viewed in different ideologies, delivering a wider message about personal growth and corruption.
In 2020, the politically anxious film is ready to be released in an even stranger era than when it was written. I think your audience will appreciate the exaggerated situation and comic tragedy of “Friend of the World” as an entertaining peer into a bleaker, yet introspective parallel reality to our current times.
