Greg Barth “Epic Fail”

Director Greg Barth in London: “Epic Fail is a cautionary tale about social media, disconnected politics and a mistrustful and divided society – an avant-garde essay that questions how we perceive truth, information and politics, seen through the dual lenses of our real and virtual identities.

“Moved by the political events that shook 2016, the film is inspired by Jean Paul Sartre’s “Nausea”; or how we can develop visual embodiments of our emotions as a catharsis on how to deal with reality.

“The whole film is made using in camera effects, 3D prints and gravity defying rigs.”
