FYRE FRAUD is greater than the story a failed music pageant within the Bahamas—this darkish comedy is a cautionary story for a era.
Billy McFarland fers us a window into the thoughts a con artist, the insidious attraction the fraudster and the way they will seize our imaginations, our funding, and our votes within the age Trump. McFarland’s staggering ambition metastasized in a petri dish late-stage capitalism, company greed, and predatory branding, all weaponized by our concern lacking out.
Our intention was to set the stage for a wierd journey into the ethical abyss our digital age, going past the meme to point out an ecosystem enablers, pushed by prit and keen to look the opposite method, for their very own achieve.
We draw on numerous cultural references, on true crime stress, and on humor—however we didn't intend to create a toothless comedy concerning the Fyre Festival. We hope this movie can pierce our collective apathy and disrupt our personal millennial friends, if just for an prompt—to have a look at these tales for what they honestly are, and to halt this algorithm earlier than it devours us complete.
