FILM: SHADOWS - GigslutzGigslutz

Based on recent news events and set in the year 2037, SHADOWS is a contemporary Orwellian style vision of the future. The short sci-fi film depicts a UK government using all digital technology for surveillance and control over the general population, becoming a totalitarian state. We join our lead characters, Lee and Jess on the brink of a revolution.

Shadows was inspired by headlines and stories that were in the press this time last year about the Edward Snowden case, WikiLeaks and phone hackings. The film is essentially a dramatic extrapolation of what is already happening into what might happen in the future as the UK moves closer toward a surveillance state
