Entity: A Sci-Fi Horror Short Film
Donation protected
What is "The Entity":
Entity is a story about technology, its promise of connecting us through shared information, and its consequence of alienating us from one another. Through its characters, the story explores the costs of keeping secrets, and the costs of uncovering them.
Entity follows George Velasco, a police officer who resigned in shame after a fatal mishap. One year later, the guilt of what happened still keeps him up at night, and his wife grows ever more distant. When George is contacted by a mysterious entity claiming to be God and offering information about his wife’s affair with another man, what quickly builds is an unsettling alliance between the two, with George carrying out tasks for the entity as he spirals towards his undoing.
