Progeny
Directed by Justin Daering
Written by Kenda Greenwood & Justin Daering
2019, USA
A factory worker is forced into surrogate parenthood by his alien boss in this well-made, thought-provoking short.
Just as Ashlea Wessel does in her great short Tick, director Daering delivers a highly memorable look at an altered society in a brief amount of screen time.
While it works very well on its own, Progeny clearly lays the groundwork for a feature film.
