8 minutes. One robot. A war that won't die. MacCaull's haunted eyes do heavy lifting.
10 years after leaving a war his father started, Quinn and Amp live in the slums selling illegal custom-tech just to afford the batteries that keep Amp alive. When an old childhood friend tracks him down, Quinn is confronted with the dilemma of choosing to remain idle in a city run by the corrupt Coreley Corporation or finally finish the war he never wanted to be a part of.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Adam Marisett crowdfunded this as a proof-of-concept for a feature that never materialized, making it a fascinating glimpse at truncated ambition.
The robot Amp was a practical suit, not CGI—actor in there, sweating under Vancouver warehouse lights.
