Cool Clip From Sci-Fi Film Sleep Dealer
By El Mayimbe on January 24, 2008
Sci-fi film SLEEP DEALER is currently in the dramatic competition at Sundance and we managed to get a cool 30 second clip to give you an idea of what the film is about.Check out the clip above. Looks cool doesn't it? Kind of reminds me of THE MATRIX but set in Mexico. Does that mean that "La Migra" are the Sentinels? Just kidding. Anyway, could this low budget sci-fi indie be the next Pi? Only time will tell. Sleep Dealer, is set in a near future marked by air tight international borders, militarized corporate warriors, and an underground class of node workers who plug their nervous systems into a global computer network that com-modifies memory. Memo Cruz is a young campesino who lives with his family in a town fighting for its life, the small, dusty farm village of Santa Ana del Rio, Oaxaca. A private company has hijacked control of the area’s water supply and is selling it back to the village at outrageous prices, provoking the mobilization of aqua-terrorist cells. But Memo couldn’t care less about Santa Ana. Memo loves technology and dreams of leaving his small pueblo to find work in the hi-tech factories of the big cities in the north. He dreams of becoming a node worker and learns how to build his own transmitter, which he uses to hack into the lives of others and live vicariously. One night, he stumbles across a transmission destined to pave the way to the city of the future, but in a way Memo could never have expected. HASTA EL PROXIMO CAPITULO... ...YO SOY EL MAYIMBE! mayimbe@latinoreview.com
