Redefining Island

IN DEVELOPMENT

LOGLINE
When dating reality show contestants find themselves off the cameras, the love they created suddenly feels empty and the appearances superficial.

SYNOPSIS
On the final day of the Love Island TV show, the grand ceremony crowns its winners. However, in an unexpected twist, the victorious couple is accidentally left behind as the production crew departs the island. Stranded in what was once paradise, they begin to experience a series of surreal events that challenge their perceptions of beauty, self-worth, and their connection to one another.

When Tiffany (21) is bitten by a snake on the buttocks, she begins to hallucinate. In these feverish dreams, she encounters the Beauty God, whose guidance leads her to a life-changing realization. Meanwhile, Jason (30) tries to gaslight her into seeing things his way, but he, too, is unsure about their future, filled with self-commodification and uncertainty.
