ADAM (2008)

Our scifi short, ADAM.

"Adam lives in a room without windows or doors. He works, sleeps, eats. Until one day, something happens which makes him curious: is there more to life?"

Nominated for an NBC Universal Shocking Short award and broadcasted on the Sci-fi channel in the Benelux and UK, ADAM explores themes like the value of humanity and that of an individual fighting against a system.

fanks Magnulus!

how did you find out about ADAM?

i'lll say it to Alex, we'll probably be doing a music video sometime soon :-)

[Magnulus]

Good work! I'm impressed with what you managed to do on your budget, and I like the way you explored the themes of devalued humanity and choice. Makes me wish there was more of it, as I'd have liked to see an ending. :)

Special kudos to Alex Wuijts on his cinematography!
