Sci Fi Vibes

I love watching this over and over to catch all of the tiny hints about who Jack really was, is, and wants to be.. It's a story about obsession, isolation, a little hope and lot of redemption. And even if you don't love the sci fi vibe (which I do very much) you will appreciate the beautiful shots, the acting, and the original score. So many tiny things you'll miss on the first pass, it's a short - you've got time watch it over and over!

the truth

I saw it as a very personal story about force - to madness - of belief - , for the realistic tension to have the clues for your truth and, not less, for fine acting of Joshua Drecker.

Sure, the desert is the perfect frame and the routine, like the two tourists or the iguana are fair pieces for this inspired puzzle of expectation and certitude.
