I caught this movie at the LA Shorts festival last night and loved it. They really created their own world. At times it's a bit too puzzling but it definitely leaves you thinking. My only confusion was the real meaning of the ending, although one of the actors had some funny stuff to say about that at the Q&A. I especially liked how shadowy and tight everything was, with really cool production design- it gave me the sense of a forgotten lonely or abandoned place that had been re-purposed for the test. I think if you like Terry Gilliam or Rod Serling's work you would definitely enjoy this short film. I was also really surprised to learn that the female lead was in "Tangerine," she is completely different in this movie. Overall it definitely draws you in and has a few very funny moments too.

The sci-fi genre, short for science fiction, features imaginative and futuristic concepts that are often rooted in scientific principles, technology, and possibilities.
