Uni-Farm: Episode 1
EDGAR’s paranoia about his job turns into an awful reality as he discovers that the myopic corporation Uni-Farm lead by RONALD FARM is about to dismantle his cherished rural life. It is only when his beloved TRACTOR accidentally contacts it’s network that a chain of events will start to unfold that could jeopardize the very idea of Farming. Under the corporate agriculture giant Uni-Farm all are protected as long as they stay in line and do their job, but for inventive farmers like Edgar this is no utopia. Uni-Farm is run by the clockwork gatekeeper LAS-C who is not pleased by Edgar and the Tractor’s disobedience or the complacence of many like him. Choosing to institute re-engagement training seminars to brainwash other farmers like him. An overproduced video detailing Edgars cautionary tale of insane contractual obligations is presented to a room of delinquent farm hands. Ronald Farm, pleasant at first, introduces the many steps towards finding success and a meaningful life using the ONEFARM system.
