Made almost 20 years before her next effort, this is a black and white "time loop" genre short, about a dystopian future where the consciousness of deceased individuals are captured and uploaded to tiny robots who live the same day over and over again in a scale-model world — only something goes wrong with one of the subjects. The purpose of which is to test advertising campaigns on these little android souls. It's a nice little concept, one that I could easily see flushed out into a feature, and it's well put together technically, even if it still feels like a student film in spots. Now if you would please excuse me, I need to refill my Manplus hair care product supply.
