Synopsis/Details: 
"OK, who cares if my every keystroke, conversation, comment, post and perhaps even my thoughts are closely monitored and Data Mined?" Thanks to ever more invasive Big Tech and lax governmental oversight, our personal privacy seems to be a thing of the past. From those of us who remain uncomfortable with this brave new digital reality, I here offer a short-short which may give you pause to think about who will control our lives and manage our opinions in the near future. Three pages, one actor, one location (a small apartment), minimal props, some computer screen shots AND a shower scene with male nudity. Now in post-production and soon to be released as The Internet of Everything.

The Writer: John Hunter

My bare foot childhood was spent in the coastal low country of South Georgia. In this semi-rural version of Camelot, the truth was often stretched and embellished as an innocent pastime by members of my family and those around me. So as you can clearly see, I was raised wrong and my storytelling is not entirely my fault. After graduation from college, I served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Latin America and later worked in construction management, big ticket sales, commercial graphics, and as a packaging design consultant. I now live in Central Florida under the shade of a large oak tree and enjoy telling a wide variety of slightly dark and quirky stories with a dash of humor. My dystopian... Go to bio
