Society is Being Crushed into Conformity in Sci-Fi Comedy Short 2048

View fullsize

2048 is an amusing sci-fi comedy short film that takes place in the title year and depicts a society that is slowly being crushed into conformity by an all-powerful computer. 

One man is surprisingly impervious to the malevolent machine’s relentless conditioning. How is this possible? Perhaps, in this dystopian future, Ignorance really is Strength.

The short was directed by Taz Goldstein and he shot the whole thing in his living room with three cast members and one crew member. They did a great job and it was unexpectedly really fun. It’s cool to see everything they accomplished with so little. Enjoy!

In the year 2084, society is slowly being crushed into conformity by an all-powerful computer. But one man is surprisingly impervious to the malevolent machine’s relentless conditioning. How is this possible? Perhaps, in this dystopian future, Ignorance really is Strength. 2084 is an experimental sci-fi/comedy that was shot in the director's cramped living room with a cast of three, and a crew of one. We hope you enjoy it!
