About ‘In The Middle Of Blackhole’
‘In the Middle of Blackhole’ is an Indonesian short film directed by Daniel Victory, with viral popularity amongst youths on YouTube and across TikTok. A unique take into the psyche of our disillusioned next generation, it also trends on the current social topics of parental roles and psychological development of youths in Indonesia.
This film is inspired by his family, where he noticed that parents often compare their children against one another which interferes with the child's psychological condition. He shared that it broke his heart when his parents started comparing his sister to him; which is unfair as every child has their own strengths and weaknesses.
Seeing such complex familial relationships being common especially in Indonesia and Asian communities, it led to him researching more on the potential of such storyline.?
Moving forward with the IP development, he would like to explore more on the relationship between Willy and his mother, so that audiences are able to understand and get the perspective of the story from both sides. Working with Viddsee Labs has been a fun and implying experience for him and he’s looking forward to bringing this IP to the next level.?
