SYNOPSIS:
In a dystopian society, a heavy handed government controls its citizens through censorship and propaganda--all acts of artistic self expression are forbidden.
A young member of the Ministry of Culture finds her safety and sanity at risk when she begins sleepwalking, committing inadvertent acts of artistic terrorism over the walls of her city.
As she struggles to regain control of her life and keep her actions anonymous, her art becomes the catalyst of a revolution.

THE PROJECT
Disorder has a projected budget of $20,000. Our team is dedicated to producing a visually stunning short film that will be submitted to film festivals around the world.
Through our producers we are able to secure heavily discounted camera, sound and editing equipment - but the bulk of the budget will go towards crew fees, catering, visual effects and the art department.
We are raising this money help build the visual world of this film - the production design. A lot of work goes into creating a dystopian society - we must secure utilitarian uniforms for each of the characters, furnish the sprawling office environment that makes up the Ministry of Culture, and 'destroy' a city street for the post riot scene. (Disclaimer: No streets will be hurt in the production of this film).
