The Radical Notion of Gene Mutation

Being a university film you have to look past the obvious low budget settings like shot on campus and posters done in the school printer, and focus on the story. And the story is really good. It's original, interesting and gives you a 1984 meets the 50's vibe.

The idea that students have their college tuition paid by the government as long as they agree to join the army afterwards is well grounded in reality, even if the forced genemutation is not, it's no doubt that if such a system ever were in place the only thing preventing it would be ethic bounderies, because for the poorer population it would be the only option for higher education being in reach.

Claire Van der Linden and Drew Starkey do well as the couple that wideeyed belived everything they have been told and are far to long down the line before they start asking questions. And what do you do when you decision impact more than just yourself.

I'd love too see this as a show on Nteflix, obviously with more meat to the story but this short film could very well span a season if done right.
