Wired Monkeys
Wired Monkeys is a cross-genre short film that intends to blend conventional narrative with music video. Its purpose is to reflect a journey from self-realization to self-discovery of a shared hidden history all humans have. A protagonist sets out find peace as he retraces his own path of spirituality that he discovers extends far back into pre-history.
A robot protagonist was chosen to portray what a wired monkey metaphorically represents: a programmed human. A gray metal, mostly faceless, machine that executes the same task every day. No other lifeforms seem to exist in his stark reality.
The juxtaposition of color and black and white illustrate the stark differences between the programmed robot world and the colorful world of real human feelings. The colored lips, tragic images of the world, and beauty of nature are all meant to remind us that we are often only reminded of our humanity when pushed to the fringes of our emotions.
Most importantly, the song which serves as the inspiration and bedrock for this narrative is also titled “Wired Monkeys” and bathes the viewer in an empowering Folk-Americana score.
