Man Trap

Underground filmmaker Barton Santello and Psychotropic films presents "Man Trap" - a film about the symbotic nature of humans and machines. Machines that we continue to evolve in the hope that someday they will deliver us the ultimate power: Immortality. A side-effect of this experiment however, is a more machine-like existence - detached from the natural environment - dependent upon machines. "Man Trap" was created from the conscious intention to visually exhibit a factory environment through a series of industrial portraits. In this film, seemingly ordinary factory images are transformed into counter-intuitive symbols, disconnected from the human spirit. The photographic method intended to artistically
capture a hidden visual aesthetic; with images derived from a seemingly an uninspired mechanized landscape. Shaping the imagery to enhance its emotional impact, a haunting psycho-active soundscape by ambient-trance electronic musician, A Produce (www.hypnos.com/aproduce), is integral to the film.

Man Trap asks the question: In the race to discover ourselves through machines and technology, are we being mindful where this path is leading?
