CURRENTLY UNDER DEVELOPMENT
The film is a clever comedy that plays with our credulity and perception of reality. An American film crew flies to the Philippines to film a reality show in the style of Naked and Afraid, and fools the audience into believing that the two protagonists are really struggling to survive.
JUNGLE‘s theme wittily plays with the concept of "reality" and delves in a hilarious way into the world of not-so-real reality shows. It tricks us into believing in facts we know are constructed, promising to pique the curiosity of a massive audience.
JUNGLE‘s production design plays with the movie‘s clever core concept of how the media floods us with false facts - truth versus illusion, reality vs make-believe.
When the protagonists find themselves „lost“ in the jungle, the natural surroundings are convincingly hyperreal, leading them to believe they are facing an untamed wilderness. They are misled by the jungle‘s familiar appearance to images they‘ve seen before, accepting this manipulated reality without question.
This boosted reality of the jungle, and the comical set pieces amplify the absurdity of how easily people can be misled into believing false facts, representing yet another manifestation of make-believe reality.
