The Neverything

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Neverything is an American Internet film made in 2006.

[edit] Synopsis of plot

The film is about two brothers, Humkin and Mopekey, who live on a boat; the boat sits on land and is isolated in the middle of a field in some unspecified part of America. The two brothers live a solitary existence; they are clothed only in underwear, and have little communication with the outside world (with the exception of a few signals received through the ship's radio).

Their sustenance takes the form of milk which is delivered by an equally mysterious milkman and a cereal consisting of frosted sugar balls; the origin of the food is not made clear.

[edit] Overview

The movie, directed by Kirt Gunn, is notable for several reasons:

• Prior to its release as a full-length feature film, segments of the film were broadcast online in several "webisodes".
• The movie is also notable that it is essentially half of a story; it is significantly related in narrative to the movie Lovely By Surprise, which was also shown on the web.
• The production, promotion and release of the film is significantly tied to commercial promotion; "The Neverything" was made under the provision of Mercury, a division of Ford Motor Company, and Mercury is using its broadcast of the "webisodes" as an alternative to traditional marketing channels.
