Frequency
Written and directed by Joel Sabadin @joelsk_
Original Score written and performed by Adam Rudegeair @neonbogart
Starring Adam Rudegeair @neonbogart, Amie Cupit @aimzsta, Jon Howard @jonathon_howard and Steph Dyhin @tephdee
This short film explores feelings of loneliness and connection in the big city, in modern life. Told without dialogue, the story follows our protagonist through Melbourne as he struggles to keep up with the speed of those around him. We feel his isolation, and his longing to find another with whom he can share his day.
We follow the character’s disappointments as he seeks out others who share his frequency, who look at the world from the same perspective. Increasingly disheartened, we join in his journey to find another who travels through life at the same pace.
Frequency was filmed entirely on a Samsung Omnia Mobile Phone with a 5 Megapixel Camera
This film is truly fabulous and it’s an amazing achievement for Joel. Please come down and show your support :)
