PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Payment is on a lo/no/deferred basis. Director: Sydney Black. VANGlORIA should have been a love story between two members of warring clans, but at its core, it is about a neurotic gang leader who tries to ease tensions with a rival clan only to find that there are some people in his gang that see things differently. This film is an analysis of brotherhood, betrayal, ambition, greed and dreams. The same thematic attributes you would give to films like Hamlet, Macbeth, The Godfather, Berserk, The Warriors, la Haine, 300, Throne of Blood, The Outsiders, Akira, and even One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest can all be found here. I’ve always wanted to create a story about a small group of damaged warriors who, in their minds, are fighting for an honorable cause but their fight will inevitably end in the darkest of tragedies because of their own greed. Shakespeare, Greek Tragedies, and Japanese Anime are the inspiration for this piece of Cinema. Apply to: Sydney Black
