fanfilm fever dreamcorporate dystopia cosplayrooftop anxiety

Overview

Science Fiction

Information is heavily monitored in an urban metropolis, ruled by what is known as The Conglomerate. The need to transfer data outside of prying eyes gives rise to a new profession: Runners, couriers that operate the rooftops transporting sensitive material. Faith Connors, a skilled Runner, is out on another run when the appearance of a fellow rival complicates the matter. The stakes continue to stack as Faith races to complete her mission. With each hurdle, she leaps towards a destination of self-discovery. The catalyst for a beginning.

Trivia

This unofficial fan adaptation predates any official Mirror's Edge film by years, making it the only cinematic Faith Connors until EA finally greenlit something.

Cultural

The 71-minute runtime suggests this was either a proof-of-concept that ran out of crowdfunding or a very committed film school final project that somehow got an IMDb page.
