Akrasia - A Short Film on Overcoming Distractions



Challenge :
The challenge was to make a 2-3 min long short film out of a single room with as few props as possible.

Time Limit :
only 12 hours




Concept Note :
Is the world getting us more distracted? More often than not, it feels that way. Our digital devices are buzzing at all times, our eyes engrossed in screens 24/7, and there are countless entertainment opportunities than ever before. With our attention span reduced to a mere 15 seconds, it certainly seems harder to focus on what's really important.
Our short film is based on the same concept of thriving through distractions. Deciding on priorities and making the mind strong enough to abide by them. When one caters to these distractions, it makes one feel stuck, almost in a loop where every time he/she sit down to work, they get back to square one with zero progress. It is when one, ignores the distractions and through one's willpower, the said hurdles are overcome and the real magic happens.
