This project combines my interest of narrative with psychology and philosophy. I wanted to explore how a possibly life changing fortune interacts with the established head-spaces of 4 characters, who all come to view this ambiguous fate in a different way. Additionally, the fate these characters are left to deal with takes on a 4th dimensional life of its own, evolving with the medium itself.

House of leaves was a big inspiration for how it uses and breaks the 4th wall within the medium it is presented in.

The film Funny Games was an inspiration through how one of the character's breaks the 4th wall and interacts with the audience.
