CONNECT / DISCONNECT (Narrative Shorts #2)

Connection comes in many forms—a pregnant woman yearning for a one-night stand, a late-night conversation with an android escort, even a fight between two people in a desert afterlife for one spot back on Earth. This collection of narrative short films captures the small, surprising moments where something real begins to take shape.
