dESTRUCTION FOR A GOOD LIFE
At NICEPLACEBADSETTING, we believe in challenging the norms and pushing the boundaries of conventional thinking, and our short film Destruction for a Good Life embodies this philosophy. The film tells the story of a man who, suffocated by the repetitive grind of daily life, makes the bold choice to set himself on fire. But this isn’t a story of despair—it’s a powerful metaphor for transformation.
The act of self-immolation in the film represents a radical break from the constraints of a life lived on autopilot. It’s about burning away the old to make room for something new, something authentic. Through this intense narrative, we aim to inspire viewers to take control of their lives and dare to redefine their own existence, even if it means confronting their deepest fears.
Destruction for a Good Life is a visual and emotional journey that challenges us to consider what we’re willing to do to break free from the status quo. At NICEPLACEBADSETTING, we’re all about creating a better world by questioning everything—and sometimes, that means embracing the most extreme of changes to find true freedom.
wE ARE HERE ON EARTH!
At NICEPLACEBADSETTING, we strive to create content that sparks introspection and drives positive change. Our video essay, WE ARE HERE ON EARTH!, is a heartfelt exploration of humanism and the power of simple, everyday actions. In this piece, we briefly touch on the concept of humanism—the belief in the value and agency of human beings—and how it can guide us toward a better world.
The core message of WE ARE HERE ON EARTH! is simple yet profound: change starts with us. By embracing our shared humanity and treating others with kindness and respect, we can create ripples of positive impact that extend far beyond our immediate surroundings. This essay is a reminder that, despite the complexities of life, the path to making a difference is straightforward—be a good human, and treat others well.
We hope that WE ARE HERE ON EARTH! resonates with viewers and inspires them to carry its message into their daily lives. At NICEPLACEBADSETTING, we believe that true change comes from within, and through our work, we encourage others to embody this philosophy.
