Sci-Fi Short Film "In Captivity" - DUST presents USC Student Film Week

"In Captivity" by Michael Koerbel

 

After spending his entire life on display, Jim discovers that they're

about to change the exhibit.

 

As the only living part of a futuristic museum exhibit meant to replicate the “ideal” human existence, Jim has everything a man could wish for. With complimentary microwave dinners, unlimited thirst-quenching soda, and over five television channels to choose from, who could ask for anything more? But when his cyborg caretakers decide to introduce a female into the exhibit, his world changes forever. As he tries to relate to Caz, a living, breathing woman, Jim discovers that maybe his sheltered life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. After a few chaotic days together, they decide that Caz is going to leave on her own. After she escapes, a lonely Jim is forced to decide whether he has the courage to follow her and face the outside world.
