This short film is an experimental animation exploring the possible use of modern technology to create new persona.

I made this film as I wanted to explore experimentally the use of fractals , animation and special effects to create a type of warped modern fairy tale.

Its about the possible use of modern technology to create new persona. A very real form of communication via the many on line site where strangers meet , such as face book , myspace and the thousands of dating sites.

The internet made it possible to live a different reality .

It depicts an agoraphobic young woman who is physically disfigured. This disfigurement leads to an emotional instability that caused her to descend into an increasingly intense & fragile fantasy world. To help her feel less isolated she was then given a computer by her social worker. After which she visits a matchmaking site where she starts a cyber romance with a man , remaking herself as a sexy and beautiful exotic dancer. They both fantasise madly about each other and fall in love on line.

When the man finally discovers the truth about her affliction he is horrified and retaliates cruelly. This breaks her heart and dramatically changes her and her way of life.
