Easter Egg - A short film

submitted by fissionchips

1 decade 6 years 10 months 1 week ago

Some 200 years in the future, Newton finds himself ill-prepared for his first date with Melody.

Synopsis:
Will personal relationships even be possible in a society of "30 billion paste swilling, non-humping clone junkies parked in front of their tubes while their naughties shrivel in the breeze"? This probing question is examined in Easter Egg, which tells the story of a first date, 200 years in the future.

This is my favourite clip to come out of ifilm, I hope y'all like it.

Most of the elements that make up the plot are extreme projections of current trends. Increasing sterility and government mandated breeding are a couple issues that come to mind. Easter Egg also broaches the issue of how we interact (poorly) through terminals. The personae we use on the web don't necessarily reflect the way we would speak if we met face to face, although I'd like to think we do better on the whole than Newton and Melody.
