VANAh – The Firm: A Sci-Fi Short Film Exploring Privacy, Personality, and Potatoes in a Dystopian Future
A short sci-fi fiction film that delves into the near future where privacy and personality are devalued, and the only currency is one’s mind, body, and data.
In this world, society grapples with advanced technology, genetic engineering, and the commodification of consciousness. The film is a blend of art, science fiction, and dark comedy, following two individuals navigating these profound changes.
A strong liberal philosophy was born, benefiting all, provided your finances and goals align with the conglomerate’s vision. Under the premise “Your safety is our highest priority.”
