Documentary about the ‘Fyre Festival’ Festival
Fyre is a documentary that deals with the disastrous festival called “Fyre Festival” in 2017 where it is told who was really Billy McFarland and what he did, as he cheated innumerable people, including investors, workers obtaining free labor and as because ofThis was direct to jail. He is a person in the style of the character that Dicaprio interprets in "The Wolf of Wall Street", an interesting person but sad at the same time because of the damage that caused.
McFarland has always been a scammer, he only created the festival to expose it. But previously founded a credit card company or cards called Magnises, which promulgated access to exclusive content and discounts that occasionally provided. He was working on a project that almost works, called Fyre, where through the application we could hire famous people for events, simply entering the application you could get a budget to hire the artist. During the development of the application, it occurred to him to organize a macro party on an island in Bahamas that belonged to Pablo Escobar. Before having organized anything, he and a team went to the islands to record the promotional video, where world -known supermodels appeared. In the video it was implied that it would be a luxury party, exclusive, where there would be famous supermodels and yachts while you could listen to the best DJ and artists.
The rumor of the party and the video began to spread at McFarland. Things did not come out as previously planned, they went very bad.
After saying that not several small islands that seemed ideal places for the event but it ended up not opting for any, two months before the festival, the Bahamas government offered McFarland a permit to use a specific enclosure for developmentFrom the party, at Roker Point in Great Exuma, just north of Sandals Resort. Although McFarland continued to promote that the festival would be held on the island of Pablo Escobar doing alterations in the images that were published.
The reality was that the festival was thought to be carried out in an abandoned and half -building, the only thing nearby was a sports port of the island and a resort, this place was a lot without infrastructure or accommodations in the absence of twomonths, even somewhat less.
In order to raise quick money for the event, and with less than 2 weeks for the inaugural event, Fyre informed the entry headlines that the event could now be accessed without the need for cash and without the need for a card, and encouraged theattendees to contribute thousands of dollars. In advance in a Fyre Band Digital to cover purchases at the festival, according to a demand. Each assistant will be issued an identification similar to a smart watch to use during the festival. This was despite the warnings that such digital bracelets would be useless due to the bad wifi connection on the site.
McFarland, who signed the email, requested that the attendees carry an entone at $ 400 for every day you would like to attend. About 2 million dollars are ending on the bracelets, of which McFarland used 40% to pay the short -term loan.
Finally, the entire plan thought by McFarland was discovered, which caused a stir among the people who had bought the tickets and were about to go to the festival. The festival was canceled and McFarland demanded by thousands of people so it was subsequently admitted to prison apart from proceeding to a return of the total amount of money obtained from the vein of travel packages, accommodation and tickets.
Personally, I think there is a certain trend, although it is true that more and more, but it is usually believed that things are true. Above all, on social networks, where we always show our best face. I also believe that the documentary shows at different levels that similarity of perception and reality. They promoted a very big and very beautiful festival to be real and in the end they were not able to get it forward. Then there is Billy’s impression, a man with a good car, who lives in a good apartment and normally travels in private jets. He was totally convinced that, if you show an image in which everything is going well, people will believe that you are a person to whom everything is doing well. He said his company obtained millions of dollars in benefits, when he was only valued at $ 700,000. And that double perception and reality was not only reflected in the festival they sold, but ended up mainly influencing their lives among other things.
