We forget what life is like outside our normal life. Our story is a view of the future that emphasizes our reconciliation with technology that promotes our humanity. Our view of the future: As a civilization we have learned to use technology to enhance our lives, not to constrain them. Technology is no longer a burden on our ecosystem since the day we stopped depending on fossil fuels. We have also reconciled our passion for survival as a species with that of coexistence with the planet and the people living in it, no matter how different. A day called "Off Day" was instituted (in the not-too-distant future) that celebrates our unity as a world and our humanity away from the technology we depend on. On "Off Day" all non-essential electrical power is turned off in celebration and remembrance of the day we became independent of fossil fuels. We take a day off of technology (except essentials like hospitals, refrigeration units, etc.) to explore the world we often forget exists outside our neighborhoods. We take the time to meet people, travel by foot and not by car, create, and make friends with strangers. We live in a world of others; this day is celebrated internationally to promote this quality of humanity across the world. In our film, we go about chronicling one young girl's letter to herself in the future. She reminds herself to never forget the beauty and goodness of being human, and how she should feel on "Off Day." Her narration overlays rising instrumentals, and reads like a poem over the images of what occurs on "Off Day." Written by Kelly McCrillis See less
