The Awakening is a psychological thriller following a couple drawn into a conspiracy that unravels into a deeper web of secrets. As the story unfolds, their search for truth becomes a race against time. While the film was still in production, we were tasked with creating a teaser poster to support early marketing across social platforms and at Cannes Film Festival. The visual concept centred around themes of surveillance, control, and liberation—represented through binary code and chains. We created custom 3D chain elements to symbolise entrapment and resistance, layered with coded textures to hint at the film’s digital paranoia. The result was a bold, cinematic image that teased just enough without giving too much away.
