(is it okay that I posted the CW in the body of the message instead of hiding the post behind it? my logic is: it’s the film itself that merits the content-warning, not the post *about* the film)

so if you’ve always wanted to watch a “#Genre-bending #ScienceFiction #dramedy #ShortFilm about #cyberpunk faith drugs and the #subculture devoted to them”
like if #BlackMirror and #Trainspotting birthed a #RichardLinklater movie…
…but you’ve been held up by #accesibility issues (or you’re just someone who prefers watching a #movie with the #subtitles on)

then apologies for the delay and enjoy!

@dangerface This is really good. I'm returning to film after years with comics & storyboards-- this is really inspiring. Jus enough EFX, color grading, props like the phones, make you feel like you're in a real near-future dystopia. Thanks for making this.
