SYNERGY is a neo-noir inspired sci-fi short film that explores the implications of human augmentation in a hypothetical near future. The narrative depicts two scenarios from the past and present simultaneously; the former contextualising the events of the latter as Adam, the protagonist, interacts with his robotic arm, AI assistant and concerned girlfriend. Adam's memories, whose dreamlike qualities are emphasised through slow motion, are juxtaposed against current events in a fragmented, aestheticised style befitting of his growing mental instability. Temporal shifts, disguised by cuts to the past and present, serve to condense the sizeable premise into a 5-minute running time.
