“You are who you choose to be.” Gravitas Ventures has revealed an official trailer for an indie sci-fi creation called Box: Metaphor, from filmmaker Kevin Khachan. This one goes on the list of extremely literal titles – so this sci-fi film about people stuck in box is, uh, a metaphor? Go figure. Box: Metaphor is a compelling dystopian journey where unjust imprisonment unveils societal conformity and defiance’s profound impact. It’s about breaking free from metaphorical boxes and the resilience of the human spirit. Box: Metaphor is set in a dystopian world, described as “having a similar aesthetic to The Hunger Games franchise.” The big ensemble cast features Kasia Stelmach, Lorry D’Ercole, Charlotte Coquelin, Martin Cohen, Diane De Lacy, Jasmine Evans, Kevin Khachan, Kloud Milas, and Charlotte Wood. This doesn’t really look terrible, thankfully, but not sure if it’ll be any good either. Cool concept, let’s just hope it’s a good film.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Kevin Khachan & Alicia Cantero’s Box: Metaphor, from YouTube:
This sci-fi film is described as a cross between Cube (1997) & Escape from Alcatraz (1979). Box: Metaphor follows a female protagonist (Prisoner 9173) who is trapped in an iron box, victimized and tortured for several years for a crime she did not commit. Through the narrow opening in the Box, we get a glimpse into an abstract dystopian world. A metaphor for societal constructs and preconceptions that bind us all. Box: Metaphor is directed by the producer / filmmaker Kevin Khachan, director of the films Red Rabbit Lodge, True Love Inc, and It Becomes Her previously. Co-directed by Alicia Cantero. The screenplay is also written by Kevin Khachan. It’s produced by Jason Von Drayco and Kevin Khachan. This first premiered in Australia last year. Gravitas will release Box: Metaphor direct-to-VOD starting on February 6th, 2024.
