Sundance Film Festival 2011 "Pandemic 41.410806, -75.654259"

Bree and her little brother, Tyler, know that their parents awaken only at sundown and are capable of strange and dangerous nocturnal behavior, but Tyler is unwilling to leave them.

Programmer's Note: Screening at this year's Festival in front of the feature "Sound of My Voice ," Lance Weiler's "Pandemic 41.410806, -75.654259" is part of a larger storytelling experience involving film, mobile, online, social gaming, print, and real world interactions. Concerning two children hiding out in a basement after a virus has turned their mother into something abominable, "Pandemic" marks the first in a series of shorts that will be shot around the world later this year. The short takes place in the same universe as Weiler's feature script "HiM," which recently went through the Sundance Institute Screenwriters Lab. Adventurous Park City visitors can also participate in the New Frontier Installation "Pandemic 1.0," Weiler's initial public release of this immersive story-world.

Pandemic was really enjoyable and suspenseful. The multiple layers of the story leave me wanting to delve deeper. Is there an underlying meaning of this sickness that has affected the adults in this world? There was also a very cool immersive ‘in real life’ Transmedia experience that accompanied the film at its’ world première at Sundance this year. Can’t wait to find out how and when we will get another piece of the story. Just brilliant!

@mikeyEDITS i think it's pretty obvious why the daughter had to kill her. i would. and the orb is the cause of the transformation. yes, it's lacking a lot of elements, but it's a short film. there's only so much information you can cram in less than ten minutes. as for me, i'd rather have something that keeps me wondering, rather than an infodump of useless plot elements that just kills the atmosphere.
