Description:
OFFF’s brief was simply the theme of the festival. ‘Misfits.’ One Word. Who doesn’t love a brief like that? We went all in. We knew we had a great opportunity to go as wild as the brief allowed while still telling a story people could relate to.
The result is a tale of non-conformity and rejection that builds to a kaleidoscopic ceremony and the uplifting power of finding your place.
‘Repeater,’ is the story of a world in which creatures speak in symbols and can turn those symbols into realities. A ruling class of Sayers forces Repeaters to only speak in squares, creating endless cubes with which the Sayers can build their towers.
One Repeater, banished from their tower for creating a forbidden anomaly, wanders the wastelands and discovers a band of misfit rebels in the midst of a wild ceremonial ritual. Joining them, they discover the true potential of these forbidden forms to change their world.
Featured in industry trades (Forbes, Shots, Shoot, Motionographer, Stash, Screen), it has been hugely inspiring to hear the ways the film has connected with audiences so far.
Some identify with their creativity being stifled, exclusion from social circles, while others have found parallels to their family’s reactions to their sexuality, or even the current political and social divisions. We love that we’ve created something that reaches people emotionally in that way.
