Master of Puppets

In this house, we gamble with lives...

Logline: A conniving thief coerces a group of desperate individuals to participate in his bidding in robbing his boss' mansion.

At its core, Master of Puppets is a film about the bleakness of greed. This is a sin that is too common in this world and isn’t taken seriously when addressed. In this film, I want to show the horrific nature of this sin through the method of monsters as metaphor. I am under the belief that monsters show you who you are by reflecting your humanity back at you. This is the relationship between Lazarus and Chester. What I hope the audience takes away from this film is discomfort in the realization that what they just watched, while fake and wildly out there, still resonates with a very real truth that they are either unaware of or aware of but ignoring.
