This is my entry for the Saatchi & Saatchi 'hello, future' music video challenge. Thank you for the fun opportunity! I hope you all enjoy -- make sure to watch till the end!

My take on Moby's track "After" -
In a sterile and controlled future, suicide rates have risen and the powers-that-be are looking into the cause.  An operator resurrects a female victim and sifts through her psyche, trying to understand the mechanics of her suicide.

Here's a quick peek behind the scenes. Take a look:

    Wow if this didn't make the top 10, I don't know what they where looking for. If I had known we could put anything to the music and not actually try to make a cohesive music video, that actually made sense to the music, I would have gone a totally different route in mine. Thanks for making this one, it was inspiring to me. I really thought it was going to win.

    Wow, thanks Christopher! That really means a lot.
