Pandemic Feature: Casting Call
By Peter Kline
We’re going to need a younger child. These teenagers are obviously compromised by moneysex and existential dread. Even the adolescents already fed false names into the video game. The toddlers are made of factory farms, the infants oil and viruses. To be the hero of this film you must never be born.
