Elliott: Full project video: Elliott, a boy with Schizophrenia, experiences things, and is haunted by the death of his mother.
Underdog: Full project video: Use of animal masks, no words
Contingency: Full project video about: The inspiration of our production are the events that occured in April of 1945 in the city of Demmin, Germany. As the second world war was coming to a close, the defeat of Germany was seen as imminent. Allied forces soon began to close in on a soon-to-be defeated Third Reich. In light of this, thousands of Germans chose the option of suicide or selbstmord over occupation. This was a preferred method for not only high ranking officials such as Goebbels and Hitler, but also an avenue taken by many German citizens. The nazi cult of personality fueled strong nationalistic tendencies within the German people and the most infamous incident being the city of Demmin. In fear of occupation, in the name of nationalism, and with additional encouragement by the German Government, over 1,000 German citizens commited suicide in a span of hardly 72 hours. Within this event we decided to imitate the idea of a government encouraged call for mass suicide within time of war and political turmoil. Taking our imitation, our innovation comes into play by taking that concept and placing it within the modern day United States and it’s political climate. Contingency follows the fall of United States, and a government mandated act of “patriotic” mass suicide. The production follows American citizens with as the dives into the individual consciousness of multiple different places on the political spectrum, allowing to create a commentary on the vast political divide facing this country brought to light by an extreme exaggeration of what the future may hold.
