Write a short summary of what happens in the film
This time around, banks are very much a force of evil, with an army of privatized police breaking into homes and forcibly removing all hope and joy from your brain.
Cultural/Context information for the jury
“The banking industry is set up in such a way to sell consumers’ dreams,” Chaney says, “but those same products are engineered against the benefit of the consumer and are weighted very much in the benefit of the bank itself.”
Sci-fi aficionados will notice no small number of references, some subtle and others overt, to previous movies, shows and even ads. While the overall tone may remind modern TV viewers of the Netflix anthology Black Mirror, Chaney says his team has counted roughly 30 references in “Dream Thieves,” including callbacks to A Clockwork Orange, Poltergeist and Apple’s iconic ad “1984.”
