“ I ’m afraid I ca n’t lower the temperature , Dave . ”

Space Oddity Films and Eko recently resign a short synergistic film called Cool , where viewers take on the purpose of a smart thermoregulator that ’s part detective , part chirrup Tom , and all creepazoid . Written and calculate by Alex J. Mann , the short dives into the fear of what wise technology is capable of , while feeling like a mix between 2001 : A Space Odyssey and Paranormal Activity … with the play gift leaning heavily on the latter .

Cool plays out like a Choose Your Own Adventure Bible , where the thermoregulator ’s actions influence what happens to homeowners Dave and Kira , whose kinship seems to have some problem ( not least of which being that Dave is an asshole ) . It all starts with the witness choosing whether to side with Dave , who wants the house tank , or Kira , who ’d wish to heat things up . I wo n’t spoil what occur , but let ’s say there ’s a small prospect that something will stop up on fire . you may check out theinteractive shortbelow .
