Eyes in the Sky
“Freedom doesn’t always end in prison. Sometimes, it ends under the sky.”
Logline

Told through three years of raw Android footage, Eyes in the Sky is a real-life thriller that blurs the line between personal testimony and global warning.
Synopsis (250 words)
Eyes in the Sky is a groundbreaking documentary-thriller that blurs the line between personal testimony and global warning. Told through the raw lens of Michael Reeves (also known as BOY Jerry), the film reveals an extraordinary journey of survival under constant surveillance. For three years, Reeves captured footage with nothing more than his Android phone, documenting what he believes to be a covert campaign of stalking and harassment that escalated into a chilling form of community weaponization. Entire neighborhoods became watchtowers, ordinary people turned into pawns, and the very sky itself—through drones and even artificial suns and moons—was transformed into an omnipresent eye.
This is not a film of speculation but of lived experience, preserved frame by frame, without stock footage or staged scenes. Each clip is authentic, drawing the audience into a first-person account that feels both intimate and universal. The narrative unfolds as Reeves, once a motivational figure with a following of over 15 million people worldwide, finds his public platform colliding with private terror. His journey becomes a symbol of resilience, a reflection on technology’s power to both connect and destroy, and a pressing call to question the invisible structures of control in modern society.
With Eyes in the Sky, Boy Jerry Pictures makes its debut, positioning the film not only as a cinematic event but also as an urgent social commentary. The project is both personal and political—a testimony, a warning, and an invitation to confront the realities of a world watched from above.
Narrative Arc
Opening: The film begins in silence, with raw phone footage of the sky splitting into light and shadow. A blinding beam cuts through the clouds — the “sun” that isn’t real. Reeves narrates in first person, grounding us in the surreal reality of being hunted in plain sight.
Act One: Reeves introduces his past life: a motivational speaker who inspired millions. Suddenly, he becomes the target of harassment and stalking. Communities shift; neighbors, strangers, and even friends are drawn into patterns of surveillance. The paranoia becomes tangible, not imagined.
Act Two: The story escalates. Strange drones and aerial machines appear overhead. Nights turn into battlegrounds as artificial moons hover. Reeves flees homes and neighborhoods, only to find the same watchers waiting for him. Through footage, the audience experiences the claustrophobia of being followed by something inescapable — the sky itself.
Act Three (Climax): The campaign intensifies, driving Reeves to the brink. Surveillance, stalking, and harassment turn whole communities into weapons — and people into pawns. Yet amid despair, Reeves chooses resistance: documenting, sharing, and exposing the unseen prison around him.
Resolution: Instead of closure, the film ends with a call — to look up, to question, to resist. Reeves steps forward not just as a survivor but as a director, transforming trauma into testimony.

Visual & Artistic Approach
Shot entirely on Android phone footage: grainy, authentic, visceral.
A hybrid of documentary realism and thriller aesthetics — handheld urgency meets cinematic scoring and editing.
Heavy use of light and shadow to symbolize exposure vs. invisibility.
Glitch effects and sound design to evoke the distortion of being watched.
The sky as motif — a recurring symbol of beauty corrupted into surveillance.
Director’s Statement (Michael Reeves / BOY Jerry)
I never set out to be a filmmaker. I set out to survive. For three years, I recorded what was happening around me, not knowing if anyone would believe me — or if I would even live to share it. But as I reviewed the footage, I realized that what happened to me wasn’t just personal. It was a mirror of the world we’re walking into: where technology sees more than we know, and control hides behind the ordinary.
With Eyes in the Sky, I’m not just telling my story. I’m asking a question: what happens when the sky itself becomes the prison walls?
