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.”

Crafting a futuristic world that is both believable and thought-provoking, this narrative explores complex themes such as privacy, technology, and societal evolution. Shot guerilla-style on location in North Zealand, Denmark, with limited resources, the project demanded creativity and ingenuity.

This film stands as a testament to the power of creativity and determination in my filmmaking career. Through innovative storytelling, strategic direction, and collaborative production, it resonates with audiences and sparks thoughtful discussion about our future.
