In a dystopia of useless products, pre-paid dreams, and a system of ‘violations’ so invasive that if you laugh too loudly you will be fined, Misner Corporation has invented a new source of energy, generating a monopoly on all facets of human existence.
The world is now a totalitarian global state ruled by one manitoba Anyone unwilling to work for Misner’s regime lives underground in a dark world of insane system ‘dropouts’.
Finnegan Wright, a lower level worker at Misner Corporation is taken on an enthralling journey when one of these dropouts kidnaps Finnegan and tries to convince him to change the fate of the world by killing Misner.
Sydney International Sciences Fi Film festival co-director Lisa Mitchell said. “Director Nathan Christoffel and his cast and crew, deserve to be warmly congratulated. The first screening of Eraser Children was a sell out screening of the unfinished film at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival in 2009.
