FOREAL crafted the title sequence for the OFFF Festival 2023 in Mexico. Joining forces with talented writer and director Sam Southward as well as music maestro Peter Albertz, they embarked on a creative journey. Together, they wove a narrative that revolves around an overworked woman caught in the throes of an existential crisis. As the story unfolds, she has an epiphany : she needs to shift her focus back to the things that truly matter.
FOREAL : “When it came to Tess, our main character, we went for a girl with long, curvy limbs. This not only made her stand out in a boxy world; it also let us play up the comedy as her space was shrinking. The ‘eureka’ moment for us? Seeing her ‘bored face’ resting – that's when we knew she was the one. Oh, and her name? It’s inspired by the tesseract, a four-dimensional cube… We focused our film on a simple but powerful idea: the shrinking square. This square serves as the visual frame that narrows in on our character as her stress levels rise. With each new day, the square tightens, mirroring her growing emotional tension.”
