      could be made into a couple of seasons worth of episodes, something like the series "Sweet Tooth", except its an android boy, rather than a 'deer-boy' trying to find its 'mother'; all the while, evading decommissioning by the "Recyclers" who are hunting down the android children who have reached their recycling date.

Also way too many hands there to steal their own share of the profits. Alternatively create your own platform for this type of content with out any censorship working both netflix and youtube replacement. If there is multitude of series or just movies it could well be worth the price.

    Absolutely incredible! It's a very simple film, a very simple story, yet it really reaches deep down into your emotions. Virginia Newcomb really knocked it out of the park here. She made that character feel so real. And I cared so much for he in that short twelve minute span.
    The only thing I don't quite understand though is why did the recycling man try to conceal his face from the police? Is he illegally scraping the machines or something? If that is the case, what did I miss that indicated that?

      Thank you for watching my friend! Isn’t it ironic that after having scouted every corner of L.A. I’ve found a more believable decayed version of the city in Rome?! Also because, nowadays, it is too expensive to shot in L.A.😅

      Indeed. That's the point of dystopian visions, isn't it?

If we want to become really human, we need to love and respect those who are *not* perfect. (Besides, nobody is perfect, thinking so would be nothing but hubris.)
