Focal Plane

About This Movie

Focal Plane blends romance with a hint of sci-fi, set against a backdrop that feels both familiar and unsettling. The relationship between the activist and the corporate woman unfolds with a palpable tension, enhanced by practical effects that feel tactile and real. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to soak in the atmosphere, while the subtle performances add layers of complexity to the characters. There's a distinct focus on themes of trust and deception, which lingers long after the credits roll. It’s not flashy, but that’s part of its charm; it invites contemplation rather than just passive viewing.

Focal Plane is a bit of a rarity in the collector's world, with limited formats released over the years. The obscure nature of its director adds to its allure, but it has maintained a steady interest among collectors, particularly those drawn to indie sci-fi narratives. It's been hard to find on physical media, which makes any copy a conversation starter in a collection.
