Kristina Jessica Doyle
"Futile"

Director, Writer:
Futile was completed in the winter of 2002. In 2003, Futile was selected for the KCET Festival of Student Films Fine Cut Series and was broadcast in the Los Angeles area on August 23rd.

Futile was made as an exploration of the flexibility, fragility and elasticity of time and space. It is a film that incorporates these elements yet still follows certain conventions of the science fiction and horror genres. It has been theoretically argued that a person can exist in more than one place at the same time - It is the idea that a moment may stretch on even as we are continuing to create moments; non-linear life that the film explores. With that in mind, the film was written to show the psychological purgatory that someone might go through and the cause and effect of decisions. The ghost is used as a symbolic illustration of morality and righteousness: all cause has effect. Though the ending is interpretive, it is meant to convey some kind of closure.

Kristina Jessica Doyle was born in the Santa Clarita Valley, California and reared in both America and Budapest Hungary.
