“Date Night Look” By Wesley Wingo
A young woman's date with a john takes a surreal turn as her deeply strange motives become more clear.
With Date Night, we wanted to sort of tangentially explore thin slices of two of the main characters from the feature length project, so it ends up going in a sort of different direction from the feature script that's more about the character arcs from the feature than the horror/sci-fi concept itself. In the short state it ends up being less about horrific surgeries and tech abilities... so we try setting up one very specific, and I think kind of well-worn "misery-porn-esque" short film seemingly about a junkie, then try to turn it on its head with the turn and reveals at the end which I hope will interest an audience in the world surrounding these sort of self made trans-humanists. We obviously are taking a much darker approach to the subculture than is what's out there in real life, or so I'd hope. The full story does get even darker, and much weirder, from here... beware.
