FYRE FRAUD arrives forward of FYRE, Netflix’s documentary in regards to the Fyre fiasco. Netflix’s FYRE is out January 18.
FYRE FRAUD administrators Jenner Furst and Julia Willoughby Nason:
FYRE FRAUD is greater than the story of a failed music competition within the Bahamas—this darkish comedy is a cautionary story for a era.
Billy McFarland gives us a window into the thoughts of a con artist, the insidious appeal of the fraudster and the way they’ll seize our imaginations, our funding, and our votes within the age of Trump. McFarland’s staggering ambition metastasized in a petri dish of late-stage capitalism, company greed, and predatory branding, all weaponized by our worry of lacking out.
Our goal was to set the stage for an odd journey into the ethical abyss of our digital age, going past the meme to indicate an ecosystem of enablers, pushed by revenue and keen to look the opposite manner, for their very own achieve.
We draw on numerous cultural references, on true crime pressure, and on humor—however we didn’t intend to create a toothless comedy in regards to the Fyre Festival. We hope this movie can pierce our collective apathy and disrupt our personal millennial friends, if just for an instantaneous—to take a look at these tales for what they honestly are, and to halt this algorithm earlier than it devours us entire.
