Make a Run for the Border
What do you do if you discovered that your wife is a sleeper, a humanoid android bomb left over from a previous war? Flee with your her to the Machine homeland before time runs out and she explodes. What choice would you have?
That’s precisely what happens in this short set in the not so distant future where a weak peace between humans and sentient humanoid machines exists. The sleeper androids are unaware they are androids until they spontaneously begin exploding. When a military unit tasked with locating the unwitting suicide bombers finds an android female, and her husband, they make a mad dash to the Machine World border in an attempt to save her life.
The film is shot in Jordan in a city named Salt and in the Wadi Rum desert, Hong Kong, and Los Angeles by Master Key Films led by the filmmaking brothers Elan Dassani & Rajeev Dassani. A twenty-minute film made on a grand scale full of action. Take a peek and let us know what you think?
