🎥 More About “Downsized”:
After his employment is terminated, a software engineer attempts to recover the digital consciousness of his late wife. Whilst reengineering the process that originally “saved” her, he’s interrupted and must fight to save the woman he loves, at any cost.
🎬 Director’s Statement:
I set out to make something that really challenged my writing and directing, whilst focusing on a genre I love. Even as a six-page short, I strived to give a sense of the world the characters inhabit and how each of them deals with it through their own lens. You could argue that at its core the film is a love story, and intentional or not, my work always has a sense of heart, even when all the characters may be several shades of grey!
