“The Laws of the Universe”(14 min) is offered by Chris
Mangano and written by Adam Aresty, for DUST.
An inmate (who is black) waits for his parole hearing
in a jail cell in Los Angeles. When they
don’t come for his, his mother calls and tells him to look at the TV. A spaceship hovers over downtown LA, and it
seems people are being sucked up.
No one can help him get food until a white jailer shows
up, with a flashlight device that lets him teleport himself. The inmate gets
out of prison by wrestling the device away.
I am reminded of the film “Skyline” (See cf blog, Nov.
14. 2010).
