Eyeborgs

Set in a near-present era defined by new surveillance technology and biometric cameras (ODIN). The plot threads through a presidential campaign, a televised debate, and rapid security escalation typical of modern political climates. The time frame emphasizes how technology can shape politics, security, and everyday life.

The action unfolds across a network of government facilities and public venues. The regional DHS office serves as the nerve center for surveillance operations, while the Millennium Center hosts a presidential debate and becomes a target for eyeborg attacks. Other locations, such as the gun deal scene, a band rehearsal space, and news-van sorties, place the events in an urban, media-driven environment.

👁️ Surveillance State

ODIN and eyeborgs permeate everyday life, turning public spaces into watchful eyes. The film explores how constant monitoring consolidates power and erodes civil liberties. Characters question whether control is legitimate or manipulated. The climax reveals how surveillance can be weaponized to influence politics and war.

🎥 Media Reality

A video file's authenticity drives suspicion and distrust among characters. Barbara's investigative reporting and viral video demonstrations show how media can expose or distort truth. The film pits competing narratives against a backdrop of high-tech surveillance. Ultimately, video evidence challenges authority and shapes public perception.

🤖 Technology

Eyeborgs symbolize the fusion of machines and governance, threatening human autonomy. The story follows individuals fighting to maintain agency in the face of automated enforcement. The tension centers on whether technology serves people or scripts their actions. The ending underscores the human cost of systemic reliance on machines.
