One out of two couples say they met online. Is that true?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the first of five suspicious statements in the opening scene of Phony<\/a>, a movie predicated on the deceitful filmmaking tactics of a shady documentarian. The sequence ends with \u201cOne out of five of these statements is true\u201d, a precursor letting you know that Phony<\/a> doesn\u2019t just use lying as a narrative device\u2014it lays down in falsehoods and splashes around like a dog in summer playing with a hose on full blast.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fablehouse.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Phony-scr-01.jpg” alt=”Phony” title_text=”Phony” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The question Phony<\/a> asks is\u2014well, Phony<\/a> doesn\u2019t ask questions. More like, it explores the nature of online dating and consent without asking for consent. Actually, I lied (see, it\u2019s rubbing off on me). Phony does ask a question:<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

How much of the person you see through a camera filter is real?<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

David Bush<\/a> (a fictionalized version of the real-life writer and director) is a date-starved, voyeuristic filmmaker who employs his womanizing friend to help him create a film about the manufactured world of online dating. Their intentions are for social science (of course), and their plunge into an online dating documentary experiment shows them that dating online is hard\u2014really freaking hard\u2014unless you\u2019re lying.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a straightedge sense that this is a serious meta-documentary with social commentary on the dubious underbelly of online dating. Plus the purposeful and bluntly vocalized theme that this world innately thrives off bodily exploitation: it\u2019s not about love\u2013it\u2019s about flesh, and \u201cPhony\u201d makes sure you see plenty of evidence.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the cringy, awkward flipside that these protagonists might be exploiting real strangers on first dates for the sake of meeting new women\u2014and seeing how many lies they can catch on film. The straddling of fiction and documentary is blended beautifully and the driving intrigue behind Phony<\/a> is that you can\u2019t tell what\u2019s real and what\u2019s scripted. Just like real-world online interactions, where finding a mate can mean someone photoshopped their eyes just to increase your chance of swiping left.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to seem like a creep or a weirdo or a serial killer, but the camera on the table, it is filming.\u201d<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Yes, that\u2019s an actual quote from a scene, as fictional David Bush meets a woman at a public restaurant who has to be thinking \u201cDear God, where did I leave my family-sized can of Mace?\u201d There\u2019s an energy present at times that feels similar to the 2010 Joaquin Phoenix mockumentary I\u2019m Still Here<\/a>, as the ever-present camera gradually submerges them deeper into an illusion of what\u2019s a sincere emotional response and what\u2019s acting.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fablehouse.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Phony-scr-02.jpg” alt=”Phony” title_text=”Phony” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Phony<\/a> was produced by Sam Claitor<\/a> and Laura Cassidy<\/a> with the creative team at Fable House Productions<\/a> and is now available for viewing on Prime (go watch it right here<\/a>!). The footage shows that yeah, you can create a pretty compelling film with just the frenetic lens of an iPhone 7 (editing by Josh Carley<\/a> and cinematography by Matt S. Bell<\/a>\u2013both mainstays in the \u201cHollywood South\u201d film scene<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The next time you\u2019re on a date and it\u2019s not going so well, you can encourage yourself with a simple thought\u2014at least I\u2019m not embedded in a meta-documentary with a filmmaker across the room recording every word\u2026<\/p>\n

Or are you?<\/p>\n
