VERMONT PREMIERE 

In the not-so-distant future, Mateo, a Latino man in his 20s, is arrested by a police drone without explanation. Finding himself locked in a fully automated jail with no means of redress, Mateo realizes he’s fallen through some kind of crack in the system. To get out alive, he’ll have to go head-to-head with the labyrinthine, computerized bureaucracy of the privatized American justice system, in search of an actual human being who can set things right. Nominated for a 2022 Academy Award for Best Live Action Short.
