I know the description calls this a “sci-fi black comedy”, but needing to watch an ad in its entirety before being allowed to enter your home feels like a perfectly cyberpunk satire to me.
I guess it’s just a 40-minute short film that will be making the rounds at film festivals this year. Hopefully they’ll post the full thing to youtube when those festivals are done though. It looks fun.

“Cyberpunk satire” seems like a redundant term. “Cyberpunk black comedy” seems perfect.
Hmm. But it got me thinking about what a parody of the cyberpunk genre would look like.
Feels very Black Mirror to me. Not a bad thing at all.
Reminds me of the premise of We Happy Few. Or maybe Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep since that also had artificial neurotransmitters for mood control.
1984 movie as well. I can’t remember if they’re in the book too. If it isn’t than I know Brave New World had them.
Thanks for posting this
