“2091” By Carlos J. Matos
Synopsis
In the distant year of 2091, three warrior-hackers face off against a mad AI in a last-ditch effort to liberate their city, and save mankind's future.
Directors statement
2091 was born from a genuine desire to blend fashion and narrative in the same manner that Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner did so in 1982.
Much how Scott drew inspiration from Golden Age Hollywood fashion to design the look and feel of his film, the entirety of this project, from aesthetics to story, was inspired by and developed in collaboration with the Barcelona-based label Zer Collection (who design and create garments using 3D printing techniques and sustainable materials). The classic story of struggle against near insurmountable forces, of fighting to create a new way to replace the old, pays tribute to their incredible work.
As writer and director, it was equal parts a challenge and pleasure to attempt to tell a compelling narrative using just images without a single line of dialogue. The production itself was, without a doubt, the most ambitious thing I’ve ever attempted to do. It almost fell apart at one point, and never would have come together were it not for the hard work and tireless dedication of everyone involved.
It is a great excitement and honor to finally present it, and I sincerely hope you will enjoy it.
