The film concept is for a mockumentary thriller called "The Binary Tape" about a man named Anton Jones who has been investigating an all-powerful being called The Binary Man that seems to have mastery over technology and the internet. Anton spends the entire film in a single room surrounded by computers, phones, and tablets. The film will be presented as stranger-found footage to build suspense as the audience is as uneasy as Anton, who will be visibly panicking throughout. Shooting the film on a mobile phone will add to the realism of the mockumentary style and allow for a lower budget production without needing camera equipment.
