Oculus Sinister
directed by James Magnaye
Oculus Sinister is an experimental film which ventures State surveillance and its effect with a person's mind.
Fear has long been used as a way to control us socially. With fear, we stop thinking. With fear, it censors our behavior to conform to what they take to be the desired outcome. The rational mind of a man can’t withstand a watching eye. As fear destroys our rationality and principles, no faith can save us from the eye.

Our film was selected as part of Ngilngig Asian Fantastic Film Festival - Exhibition Category at Davao, Philippines. Oculus Sinister was also selected to be a part of Sinepiyu XV - Experimental Category at Far Eastern University, Manila. There we were able to won the Honorable Mention award.
It took a 2-day shooting to achieve this film. We're broke students trying to pursue our passion. Without our effort, this film will not be complete. Cheers for 12 hours + shooting, may we never experience this again
