Synopsis

This is a 4-part VR multi-strand animated series following a group of characters whose stories are mysteriously intertwined both in the real world and afterlife. As these characters’ stories unfold and intersect, we discover the lengths that some will go to in the name of love while uncovering a conspiracy so vast it has affected every facet of our existence... and the next.

Director’s Statement

Lustration is an edgy Noir story set in a fantasy world and it should be packed with action, drama, emotion, and questions about our way of life and who we believe we are. For as long as I can remember I have loved films and television. The way they can take you out of reality and put you into a new world is something that has always drawn me in. But the one thing I miss with many modern films and TV shows is the fact that they sometimes miss the magic of film and fight too much for reality; Lustration embraces this idea through the visual tone and the storytelling itself. This is a world that can take us anywhere we want, to anytime in history or to any place in this world and beyond. That’s why telling this story in the VR space is so exciting. I want to make these stories feel real yet heightened at the same time. I want to mix genres and faiths together. I love comic books and the worlds they create; they can be so diverse and universal. They are a pure mix of genres and faiths. Imagine mixing Hitchcock’s Rear Window with Batman and adding in religious beliefs from the Bible and the Quran. Once we blend them together, I want to place my Aboriginality into that story and tell stories from my culture that is somewhat untold to the rest of the world. Lustration allows us to jump from world to world as well as faiths and to show us that all we want is to live a happy life. I want to blur the lines of faith and fiction, propose questions of faith and the meaning of life. I want to blend all the different notions of life after death and how religion dictates what is good and evil. With Lustration I will blend different faiths and social issues into this new and heightened genre world.
