Write a short summary of what happens in the film

In the near future, London is in chaos and your freedom is about to be taken away. Not exactly the new world you dreamed of? Don't worry, it's still just a game, and you can change all that.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

The main objective of this film was to show the “where” and “when” of the game, which is very clearly a dystopian London on the near future. We carefully avoided a cyborg queen and cloned horse-guards but prefered a taxi of yesterday and drones of tomorrow.

Tell the jury anything relevant about the direction. Do not name the director.

We wanted to find a new way to film the video game. No real images or realistic 3D and even less images of the game. So, we chose an artist with his own universe and the experiences that the game offers.
