Story
Mission Statement
The project has three primary female leads, two female producers, and a female Director of Photography. The project will also employ veterans, and is directed by the son of an immigrant boilermaker.About The Project
The story of "Swipe" takes place entirely on Halloween night and it spans across our three female leads as their stories intertwine and overlap. In modern society we are bound to our smartphones. We ask our modern oracles for just about everything from directions to the best pizza shop locally to medical advice. We are influenced everyday through our phones.
Our phones tell us what to think, how to think, and when to think, and generally do our thinking for us. But what would happen if our phones started demanding more lethal and unpleasant things from us? Would we comply?
The premise for "Swipe Left To Live" is simple. Victims see a screen pop up on their smartphone. They are prompted to swipe left to live, or swipe right to die. Those that swipe left are given a choice: Kill someone that is chosen randomly from one of their social networks and be rewarded, and live, or swipe right and die a quick, and painless death.
Trick is, the details aren't given on the splash screen: and everyone swipes left. There is no choice -not- to play. Those that refuse to play face dire consequences, both for themselves, and someone else very close and dear to them. Victims are literally given a "Sophie's Choice."
The choice is simply: Your Death, or More Death.At first the premise may seem similar to recent movies such as "Nerve," or even "Saw." However, shortly after "Swipe" begins it takes things in a totally unexpected way. What shakes things up, and separates "Swipe" from previous similar films, are the mysterious villains of the film: "The Facetakers" and the Entity that controls them, and the game.
(Facetaker Prime)
Concept art by: Eugene Golovanchuk
The film in tone is a mix of the original John Carpenter "Halloween" and the more recent "It Follows." "Swipe" is a smaller, more personal film, like "Halloween," but it has an utterly unrelenting pace as well as a wicked sense of dark humor. But make no mistake it will be an utterly horrifying and terrifying film. The film will not rely on cheap jump scares, and there are many, many twists in the story that will keep the audience at the edge of their seats to the very end.
