MALADAPTIVE

Type of Work: Short Film

Duration: 2 Months

Designers: Nicole Prasetia

​

Project Overview

Maladaptive is a 10 min experimental short film exploring the mundanity of everyday routine and the deterioration of reality as we get engrossed in daily life through my own experiences daydreaming. 

​

Throughout the development of this film, I had many conversations with others about their own daydreams. People daydream in boring situations and I realize some people use their phones to daydream for them. I realize that Instagram reels and Tiktok are designed similar to the way I experience daydreaming. Sudden changes in scenarios, and if it was a boring scenario, I would change and skip it in my brain. 

​

This project allowed me to delve into the process of digital filmmaking and audio production.

I recommend you watch it while doing very boring mundane tasks, like doing laundry or on the way to work.
