Dreamdoor Films
We invite you to partner with us, Dreamdoor Films, in supporting a group of cinematic artists in the production of Attrition, an Orwellian, science fiction film.
Dreamdoor Films is working to increase the visibility of black filmmakers and content creators in the world. This production company is making valiant efforts to bring the power and creativity of black and brown minds into genres and spheres that often lack diversity. Attrition specifically is working to break the barrier to sci-fi, a genre that has been widely unexplored by creators of color. Through high-quality production and a creative storyline steeped in allegory, Attrition hopes to touch the hearts and minds of its viewers and initiate a longing for more science fiction-based films focused on diverse peoples.
Storyline
In this Orwellian Science fiction thriller, a husband and wife must choose between giving up their fundamental human rights or standing against the forces of the new American order.
It’s 2070, and America has changed. The majority of the nation, fractured in the aftermath of a violent political conflict, has settled into a nationalist dystopia. To “keep the public peace,” the nation’s ethnic populations are monitored and regulated by “the bureau.”
Yesu, a veteran of “the americas wars” and now a factory worker in the last human factory, wants nothing more than to live a peaceful, humble life with his wife, Avaline. They work hard and follow the rules until, one day, the rules change. Now Yesu and Avaline find themself at odds with the forces of the new American order. Their conflict begins with “Attrition.”
