The Future... Is Just How You Imagined
Short experimental animation film exploring two distinct dystopian futures through the lens of our internet and pop culture imaginarium.
Assembling an extensive collection of visual tropes and clichés to depict a grim vision ruled by totalitarian systems of control, coercion and oppression. From brutal autocratic dictatorships to decaying cyberpunk megacities, familiar imagery warns of a self-fulfilling prophecy that may be upon us.
