The Mock Destruction of the World

ShortComedyDramaSci-Fi

Tommy Roach is an unusual toymaker, who finds grace in malfunction and creativity in decay. His speech is a mix of fanboy sci-fi enthusiasm, Anthropology 101, and a thoughtful, cosmological vision. Pictorially, a science fiction story plays out that features the decay of nature, as described by glorious autumn colors, and the gleam of an automated modernity, as described by the sheer light bouncing off glass and steel, and peculiar glow of boulevards at night. Tommy's toys come to life, as it were, through lo-fi means. They are strange and their intentions are unclear.
