Here’s a most unusual item: A movie that takes place within the universe of THE MATRIX… made by two novice filmmakers. Raphaël Hernandez and Savitri Joly-Gonfard are apparently self-taught, but to watch the trailer for KAYDARA, a 55 minute film the duo made, you wouldn’t know it.
Here’s the set-up:
The story of “Kaydara” takes place within the universe of Lana and Andy Wachowski’s film “The Matrix”. Kaydara, a bounty hunter who is living separately from the Human Resistance Group, does not believe in the prophecy of “the One”. He sees this so-called saviour instead as a threat to the awakening of Man’s self-awareness and considers him an enemy. If their paths cross, Kaydara will not hesitate to confront him.
Before you check out the trailer, read this statement from the directors: “Kaydara represents to us an exercise in style. While staying true to a visual and narrative structure we did not create but that we hold in the highest regard, the film is a way for us to express our true personalities and vision: it is a fan film not made by fans!”
