About the Film

Higgens Productions First Short Film 

PROJECT: L1FE was written and directed by Jeffrey Higgens and premiered when he was a senior at Center Grove High School in Greenwood, Indiana. With a cast and crew of over 30 individuals, it was an experience that taught Higgens about logistics of creating a short film. Higgens has gone on to produce other short videos through Higgens Productions’ “72 Theatre” brand.

Movie Synopsis

As humans, we all tend to have people we look up to. Many times, we try to live other people’s lives through our own life. As a human race, we as a whole tend to imitate the fashions of models, talk like our favorite celebrities, and end up living a life separate from our own. SafetyFirst, a science research company, is currently doing a study on a person they have equipped with certain items. Their objective is to find the end result when humans try to imitate other people. Using a triangle, a researcher can have their experiment, Project L-1-F-E*, try to imitate someone else’s life through a single day. Each time, Project L-1-F-E* disturbs the other person’s life and slowly ends up ending his own life. Through the course of the day, Project L-1-F-E* imitates a biker group, takes off with a taxi, as he tries to take on life as a taxi driver, and goes around imitating a whole community. In this hilarious half hour comedy, we can see that Project L-1-F-E* really isn’t what the researchers hoped for. In the end, we find out the expense of living someone else’s life is: as we live someone else’s life, we slowly turn against our selves.

*PROJECT L-1-F-E is never mentioned in the movie as the person’s name.

Short Movie Synopsis as communicated during the production of the film:Many, if not all of us, try to imitate other people’s lives, by trying to look like famous celebrities or imitating characters in movies, or even imitating our peers. PROJECT: L1FE is a film about a person who goes around his community and tries to live other people’s lives. Research is still in progress as to how the community will respond do this “bazaar” behavior.
