The sloppy nerd Kevin will finally have the girl of his dreams coming to his apartment, but he has little time to clean up all the mess. Luckily (or not), he can rely on a super-efficient online advertisement service, which recommends products based on his recent offline activities, and an ultra-fast delivery at his door.

Director Statement

The idea of Invazon started during the lockdown. I had huge limitations because of that, but still, I wanted something engaging and meaningful. After a few weeks of brainstorming with myself, I combined two different ideas I had and wrote the script for the short. I think everyone has had this experience of talking about something and immediately receiving an ad related to it. It's scary, but it's happening more and more with big data. I didn't want to make a blind critique of technology and I think that's clear in the film. However, I believe in the responsibility we have to the world we're helping to build, and filmmakers have this amazing tool called storytelling to bring light to our issues.
