Privacy Breach

Finally. A title to dethrone _1984_ as the supreme dystopian fiction. _Privacy Breach_ stands as a testament to the fragility of free will, and the almighty powers of government surveillance. One might argue that these are echoes of the warnings foretold by the likes of George Orwell. However, Orwell fails where _Privacy Breach_ shines. _Privacy Breach_ **isn't boring**. Cinematography, editing, sound design, and performances all come together to create a cinematic experience unlike any other. Gelled together by the masterful direction from Josh N. Hard to believe that this was their directorial debut. High angle, wide angle camera shots give the viewer a CCTV camera's point-of-view. Meanwhile, steady shots from behind the subjects immerse the viewer in a voyeuristic position. Truly giving the impression that our protagonists are being watched. Reminiscent of Andrei Tarkovsky's _Stalker_, but far surpassing anything it achieved. And for all of this to be under 4 minutes? Incredible.
