“This brilliant gem of a short film explores one manu0026#39;s journey as he tries to escape his addiction to technology and reconnect with humanity and the natural world.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s a really interesting and important idea for the modern times we live in and anyone who has ever thought technology is taking over our lives will enjoy this film, as will those who like sci-fi.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI was lucky enough to view this short at a private industry screening and was struck by Scott Mannionu0026#39;s masterfull direction, interesting and motivated shot design and striking, visionary imagery.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLoved the performances of the cast which really helped bring across the meaning intended by the director.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTo be honest I had never heard of Scott Mannion before Anima, but canu0026#39;t wait to see what he does next – a very Terrance Malick quality to him.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI also thought Mike Molloy did a wonderful job with the Cinematography and loved the special effects! A great film that shows just what Australian film is capable of when they get it right. Highly recommend, Kelly.”
