Creative Control

Creative Control is set in Brooklyn, New York, five minutes in the future. The glorious technological advances and communication devices of the near future are meant to increase connectivity and alleviate boredom, but in reality they are only increasing the anxiety level of the insecure New Yorkers suffering from digital overload. David (director/co-writer Benjamin Dickinson) is an ambitious, overworked, tech-addicted advertising executive developing a high-profile marketing campaign for a new generation of Augmented Reality eyeglasses. Feeling stuck in his relationship with yoga teacher Juliette (Nora Zehetner), he envies the charmed life of his best friend, fashion photographer Wim (Dan Gill), and his entrancing girlfriend Sophie (Alexia Rasmussen) -- so he experiments with the glasses to develop a life-like avatar of Sophie. Soon, the line between fantasy and reality begins to blur, passions escalate and things get increasingly out of hand.
