Freequencies
This is more than just my latest project;
it’s a window into the life of Oliver, a boy with electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) whose unique challenges in our tech-saturated world reveal the deeper emotional landscapes we all navigate. This film was crafted with the hope of sparking conversations about our digital lives.
AT ITS CORE...
Lies a mission far beyond storytelling. This film embarks on an enlightening journey, aiming to illuminate the obscure condition of Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) through the eyes of Oliver, a ten-year-old boy navigating the challenges of this condition. As Oliver's story unfolds, we are reminded of the pervasive impact of technology on our lives, often taking for granted how it affects individuals around us differently.
SYNOPSIS
In Freequencies, we dive into the world of Oliver, a ten-year-old boy who experiences life differently due to electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). This rare condition makes everyday technology a challenge: he feels the buzz of electronic devices more intensely than others. Oliver's journey sheds light on the often-overlooked effects of our technological footprint and inspires a quest for more genuine human connections. This film is a thought-provoking exploration of the delicate balance between the digital world and our innate human needs of connection and friendship.
Someone once told me this, and now I'll never unsee it...
Dear Olivia,
We wanted to share with you some of the elements from your film that overwhelmed and captivated us: I like the visual effects used to isolate Oliver's character and emphasize his condition.
On behalf of our screening and programming team, we wish to extend our congratulations to you and your entire team once more, and celebrate your creation by sharing these reflections we had from your incredibly artistic project.
The Venezia Shorts film festival, Italy.
I recently had the opportunity to view "Frequencies," a short film directed by a promising young filmmaker.
The film skillfully brings to light electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome (EHS), a condition that, despite its significant impact on individuals' lives, remains underrecognized and often misunderstood.
In our increasingly technology-driven world, raising awareness about EHS is crucial.
By humanizing the experiences of those affected, the film bridges the gap between abstract scientific concepts and the tangible realities faced by individuals.
