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
