Homes of Hope - A Scifi Short film

Here's an great sci-fi short film that's worth a look. With all of the new blockbuster stuff coming out this year, it's nice to see that the small craftsman can still create something worthwhile.

Short Synopsis:
Sets in the self-destructive dystopian near future, where escaping to computer simulation becomes the only way out of the whole mess. A computer scientist Chris becomes the victim of his own invented VR world.

Notes:
It's a proof of concept short film for a feature film screenplay we are developing, but as a short film, it has got an excellent response at a festival run, by winning "Best Sci-fi Short" title in multiple festivals.

Accolades:
"Best Sci-fi Short Film" at London Independent Film Festival
"Best Sci-fi Short Film" at New York City International Film Festival
"Best Sci-fi Short Film" at Hollywood International Moving Picture Film Festival
