Object Reality

What does human connection look like in a post quarantine world? Set 20 years in the future, ‘Object Reality’ is a fly on the wall exploration of the inner life of Ramy. As she unexpectedly falls in love in complete physical isolation, craft and creative expression are integral to her connection with Prest. Creating and sending each other gifts, the two create an unbreakable bond without ever meeting.

The idea for the film came to be during the beginning of the pandemic in March. Taking place in the not so distant future, the film explores themes of isolation, longing and the barriers between the physical and digital worlds. These themes were important to everyone involved in the project because the film was created in parallel to their lived experiences. Obviously everyone’s experience of the pandemic was unique to them, however certain universal themes are relatable to us all. This project was extremely important to everyone involved not only as catharsis but also as a way to connect.
