We are already Cyborgs. Our phones are constantly connected to us, in our pockets, in our hands, staring us in the face. We are smarter and dumber because of them. They have altered our reality, they have intermingled with our memory, they have evolved our… physicality?

Wyatt never really thought too much about the fact that his smartphone had taken the place of his right hand. If anything it was a good trade! It was always ready and available without having to carry it around around, and he didn’t even have to worry about dropping it!

But when a series of mishaps leads to his imprisonment and interrogation by a very unusual “person” in some sort of middle ground between the real world and his online life, he takes action and tries to escape the screen world to find real connection again. But will anyone come with him? Or even realize he’s gone?

A love story for modern times, Us+ Them is a metaphor for our modern world, our addiction to our devices, and where that maybe leading us. It explores the merging of human and machine, real experience vs mediated experience, and the choices we make to create moments where we truly love being alive.
