Mainstream

2005 · 9 min

A short, uneasy parable that drains the colour from conformity and leaves a quiet, numbing dread behind.

Overview
Mainstream concerns what can happen when we give up, when we let our creativity, our will, and our passions be sucked away and end up numbed and unquestioning, part of the machine.
How it feels
Dark, bleak, tense and satirical. Measured and needs your attention.
About
Identity, isolation, conspiracy, freedom
Content
Mild violence, gore and language. No sexual content.
