This short film is about Neil Harbisson, a completely colorblind cyborg that lives in New York City. Neil invented an antenna that converts color into sound and had it surgically implanted into the back of his head. There have been several articles and coverage of Neil and his device over the years, so I wanted to take a different approach to this story and tell a more personal narrative.
Michael Jennings is a genius who's hired – and paid handsomely – by high-tech firms to work on highly sensitive projects, after which his short-term memory is erased so he's incapable of breaching security. But at the end of a three-year job, he's told he isn't getting a paycheck and instead receives a mysterious envelope. In it are clues he must piece together to find out why he wasn't paid – and why he's now in hot water.
