About this project
Hello. My name is Scott. And I am making an autobiographical narrative art film titled Oculus. I want to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about the film and why I'm doing it.
The Film
Oculus is a journey through beauty, through love, through life and death as seen through my eyes. It weaves together the tale of my life over the last four years working as a photographer in South Beach. It is the tale of a man who has taken hundreds of thousands of photographs both of people on the street and of erotic nude models in the apartments and hotel rooms above them. Oculus is the tale of a sexy and sometimes not so sexy world.
Beyond the world of photography, Oculus aims to present the beauty in humanity through an absurd tapestry of experiences, providing answers to questions such as why I would travel alone for three months across the United States and back on a 50cc scooter, why I would move to Miami to begin with, and why, after my oldest son took his life, I would remain here.
Oculus is a winding tale of the circles we find ourselves in and the patterns of life. It is humor, it is sexiness, it is tragedy. It is life.
With this film, I intend to show the viewer the world through my eyes. My purpose? To spread goodness. This is what I hope to accomplish with Oculus.
Production
On this film, I am wearing nearly all hats: Writer, director, director of cinematography and photography, audio engineer, editor, and producer.
Acting will be performed by others.
FAQ
-
I've never been a big fan of paying someone to shoot them. In the past, I have paid some people to shoot, and some people have paid me. I don't particularly like exchanging money either way for my personal projects, however, this is a little different. Oculus is a rather large undertaking and within it, there is much more involved. Here, I'm not simply shooting models but actresses and actors. There is more style involved. More production involved. More everything involved.
-
Money received through funding will go to a variety of sources. With Oculus, I will use the funding to pay models, actresses, actors, and stylists for their time and services. I will be paying for locations to use for shooting. I will be paying for permits as needed. Also, there are additional costs associated with production (music, licensing, outsourcing as needed) in addition to the purchase of minor equipment to help with production.
