Hey everyone! Haven't posted on here for a while since I went off to film school and put all my time into making movies. I graduated last year and thought I'd share my thesis film with you. With Over 160 VFX shots, 9 locations, and a large cast it was quite an undertaking.

We did quite well in the festival circuit and were recognized by the Academy, SAG, and the MPSE.

Here's the film on youtube, broken into a 3 part web-series (ideal for youtube attention spans!)

If you want to read more about the film here's the website: Official Website
and here's an interview I did discussing the production

Thanks everyone, hope you enjoy, if anyone happens to have questions I'd be happy to answer.

Wow! Congrats! Fantastic looking stuff! Really cool conceptually, love all the vfx work you guys did, and the newsreel/corporate propaganda video to kick things off. Reminded me a bit of the Veridian Dynamics commercials from Better Off Ted. It was a bit slow for my personal tastes, a lot of contemplative moments where nothing was happening. I know some people dig that, but it's not really my jam. Also the "waking up in bed" shot is I think the single most used indie film cliche. But, ****, other than my two minor beefs, you've crafted something pretty phenomenal here. Great work!

Looks great, sounds great, nice vfx, acting and solid editing - But man is it slow paced.
It should have been cut into one 5 minute part and then split into three webisodes. Cut your darlings! Starting with that waking up shot.

Great work though! It looks amazing.
