Title: Tears of Steel
Release date: September 26, 2012

Part post-apocalypse, part love-story this film is set in a future where a small group of humans are trying to put right the events that lead to a world of destructive robots that threaten human life. The short film picks up the themes of the cyborg, human essence as information pattern, and the technology escaping from human control, and throws some action scenes in there too for good measure. Good effects and average acting.
