Stars: Seán T. Ó’Meallaigh, Hannah Mamalis, Marcio Wille, Charlie Kranz, Aoife Nic Ardghail | Written and Directed by Eamonn Murphy
A short film that was selected to screen at the Oscar-qualifying Tribeca Film Festival which, due to the Coronavirus outbreak the festival will now screen films online in the coming months, A Better You is directed by Eamonn Murphy and takes place in a peculiar steampunk world where a man named Douglas (Seán T. Ó’Meallaigh) orders a clone of himself in order to attempt to win the girl of his dreams who he finds himself unable to impress.
This felt like one big metaphor for how lives are lived in the modern age, with social media playing such a strong part of people’s lives, and with the status updates and profiles filled with perhaps less-then-truthful things. The classic yet futuristic visuals are great and the overall production design here is damn good.
