SYNOPSIS
After legalizing “Peer Consumption” in a vampiric world; near-utopian governance is quickly overshadowed by a truly predatory housing market. Desperate to pay rent, or risk being eaten alive, Willow, a brooding elected observer of alt-worlds & timelines, searches for solutions.
“Willow” is the culmination of evidence-based storytelling, visually-striking cinematography, and editing. Moreover, I’m tying emotional journeys to a larger understanding of policy, action, and politics. This is an alternate reality where the 1811 German Coast Slave Revolt leads to a multi-ethnic utopia that bans White Supremacy and most systemic instruments it uses. However, in this world, consuming others grants one electrical power, regenerative healing, and the memories of their victim. It’s a direct metaphor for capitalism that illustrates its inherent violence. And much like Gold and Enslaved people, entire economies are built upon the consumption of the weak, who in this case, are White Supremacists - until “Peer Consumption” is legalized.
