STORYLINE: While logging tapes of decades-old TV broadcasts, video archivist James (Harry Shum Jr.) discovers a surreal and disturbing clip that James believes is the product of a mysterious broadcast signal hacking. His discovery takes a sinister turn when he tracks down similar broadcast intrusions that send him on an obsessive mission. Now James must confront two very real possibilities: that the videos may be clues to a crime beyond all comprehension; and that whoever was behind them may be very aware that James is coming uncomfortably close to the truth.

REVIEWS:
“The strength in this is the mood that [Gentry] sets and the atmosphere of the film. He needs to work a bit on the follow-through, but the strong leading actor helps.” www.nerdophiles.com
“The scope and style keep things engaging up to a certain point. So, too, does the total commitment to its weird concept and its nightmarish android imagery. But it’s too opaque and superficial to sustain the overarching narrative, further hindered by archetypical characters. With stunning production design, there’s a lot to like about this peculiar tech-noir thriller, a technical marvel.” www.bloody-disgusting.com/
“Fans of films like Videodrome won’t want to miss this, as it has very similar themes of obsession and paranoia, making for a very uncomfortable watch. Director Jacob Gentry has also revealed that he was inspired by creepypastas and videos such as Tara the Android, as well as real life broadcast signal intrusions such as the 1987 Max Headroom signal hijacking.” wwwl.ovehorror.co.uk/
