This 2016 short film was presented by Dust in 2017; re-released in 2023.

A man who works at a tech company is talking to a woman who also works there... She's questioning him about a woman he'd brought to the company one night to impress her, and she ended up stealing some experimental technology. This takes place in a time when everyone has nanobots in their brains, and this new technology allows the visual information they see to be hacked and altered before reaching their brains. So anyone using this technology can cause everyone around them to see them as a completely different person. It's an interesting concept, and well-executed in the film, though I did see the twist coming all along. But that didn't make the film any less enjoyable.
