informs me that there is a short film adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson’s
Pinocchio-goes-scifi story
The Nostalgist, and it's now available (for free!)
online. Here's the official plot description:
"In the futuristic city of Vanille, with properly tuned ImmerSyst Eyes & Ears the world can look and sound like a paradise. But the life of a father and his young son threatens to disintegrate when the father's device begins to fail. Desperate to avoid facing his traumatic reality, the man must venture outside to find a replacement, into a city where violence and danger lurk beneath a beautiful but fragile veneer..."
The movie is 17 minutes long, but the story is only 14 pages, so this might be one of the rare occasions where it's actually faster to read the book.
