Seveneves
“But this was how the mind worked. The mind couldn’t think about the End of the World all the time. It needed the occasional break, a romp through the trivial. Because it was through trivia that the mind was anchored in reality, as the largest oak tree was rooted, ultimately, in a system of rootlets no larger than the silver hairs on the president’s head.” ~ Neal Stephenson
Wow. Wow. Wow. I am speechless. Absolutely fantastic job on this Lady Predator cosplay photographed by Howie Muzika at MegaCon 2016.
Love this film. Why? Instead of the standard issue dystopian nightmare that so many authors and film producers pump out like there is no tomorrow (sorry about that), Richard Mans gives us this little gem of a perfect utopian/terraforming short film that has the feels. Excellent work!

“Violence is what people do when they run out of good ideas. It’s attractive because it’s simple, it’s direct, it’s almost always available as an option. When you can’t think of a good rebuttal for your opponent’s argument, you can always punch them in the face.”

Whoops – don’t give the AI Ana full security access to the system! Too late – She takes control of a factory assembly line, medical and food resources, and the march of the bots begins. What is Ana’s goal? Nobody knows the answer to that except for Ana, and she is not talking. This short is a History Channel proof-of-concept for a larger project in development. Looks good so far!
