Beyond the Stereotypes of Magic

The Eye explores themes of magic without falling into typical stereotypes. I wanted to go deeper into how magic intersects with real life, without the glamorized, polished edges often seen in fantasy. Here, magic is raw, unpredictable, and risky—a direct challenge to Dr. Apples’ ego. By showing magic’s darker side, I hope to give viewers a unique perspective, one that feels closer to reality than to fantasy. After all, true magic isn’t about control; it’s about risk and consequences.
