This short film was produced in the Summer of 2010. The storage drive that contained the footage crashed shortly after production, and it was considered lost. 10 years later, on October 30th, 2020, the files were recovered and the film was finally edited and released on January 30th, 2021. 3 months exactly after the footage was salvaged. Though this is the director's "latest film", it is technically his first (as a student in Columbia College Chicago).
Fun fact: In the time-line of the story, the "Mentefacto Project" goes online at the beginning of 2021. The same year the film was premiered (this was not planned though).
