With "The Weatherman" I wanted to tell a story of psychological liberation. What began as a personal method of escapism ultimately became an allegory for the archetypical escape from time, limit, and everything holding us in place. "The Weatherman" is the prequel to "It's Not Even Raining" which will release Summer 2021.

[Concept]

The candidate finds himself trapped within a snow globe called EBOLGWONS.

This snow globe represents false reality.

The snow globe is controlled by a program called The Weatherman.

It connects to the candidate’s neural system.

By dictating the weather, The Weatherman controls “how it is”.

The Weatherman creates definition, context, and meaning.

The Weatherman represents outside influence, but more importantly, it represents Artificial Intelligence.

After a while, the candidate realizes that when the blue and yellow energies converge, a new green energy is created.

When the energy is green, The Weatherman’s power is weakened and the candidate’s strength increases.

Eventually the candidate fights the effects of The Weatherman and is able to ultimately escape EBOLGWONS and free himself.

Once free, the candidate, after experiencing artificial conditions for so long, finally exclaims to himself, “It’s Not Even Raining”.
