Project Astral

An experimental short film about surveillance, control and freewill. Project Astral explores our awareness of the system we all live in, and how quickly our moments of lucidity fade. On a more literal level, Project Astral considers the theory that the universe we perceive is only a simulation, deep in layers of other
simulations.”
