SYNOPSIS
A few years into the future, the world is inhabited by very dumb people. Everyone is addicted to short videos and have lost their attention spans and intelligence.
Cringey social media influencers run the world.
Shyama is a talented social media video editor, editing funeral eulogies, but her dream was to edit movies. One day she is introduced to an exclusive new editing technology, accessing footage from deceased people’s memories by entering their consciousness. Shyama becomes the characters she edits and sees many sad and hilarious feats.
Meanwhile, a series of murders take place targeting social media influencers. Unbeknownst to Shyama, her path crosses with this enigmatic killer, leading to an unexpected and unlikely friendship.
SCOPE FOR 1ST LEAD
When Shyama enters her editing gear, she comically takes the appearance of the characters she’s editing. This gives a lot of scope for the lead artist to experiment with their range within one film.
SCOPE FOR 2ND LEAD
Keera is an absolutely wacky psychopath and cinephile who imitates serial killers from her favourite movies, shows and documentaries.
