Viewing Notes
Final full length film of the festival for me. Nice to end it with a Chicago-based neo noir that involves strange pirate broadcasts using automatons with possibly hidden messages. Completely up my alley with references to BBSes and a few nods to the infamous Max Headroom pirate broadcast that happened on November 22, 1987; and the Captain Midnight pirate broadcast that took over HBO on April 27, 1986. Pretty fun stuff for nerds like me.
The story itself plays out like a classic noir against a hacker/video nerd backdrop. Really well done.
