Stand Up is an action short film set in a dystopian future where a one world government (known as the World Peace Organization) is in complete control of the world's population. The story line follows the journey of a World Peace Organization soldier as he witnesses the atrocities committed by the WPO and rebels against them. The general premise of the film revolves around standing up for what is right, but as our main character (Pierce) quickly finds out, defining what is "right" in a world full of wrong is often quite difficult. This short film dives into the moral complexities of rebellion and continually begs the question of who is in the "right"?
