Screenplay by Stephen Bittrich. Directed by David Legore.
Produced by the Department of Dramatic Media at Texas Lutheran University, as part of their annual Moving Pictures Project initiative.
In this state-controlled, corporatist future, a working-class citizen named LEE72 (Aaron Strey) is brought in for questioning about entries made in the journal of his personal station. Reeling from a break-up with his former partner, LAN33 (Seana Watson), he's interrogated by an elite investigator, MING02 (Annelise Leifeste). Distracted by a rare bee sting, LEE72 soon finds himself at the center of a Kafka-esque transformation that will change his life forever.
