Desperate for a clue to a mysterious case, an Investigator pushes for a last minute interview with his only witness: an A.I. called ANDI-7291. There's only one problem—fearing the A.I. is corrupt, the scientists at Lang Industries made the suspicious decision to wipe her memory. Now the Investigator has about 10 minutes to find out if any memories remain before ANDI-7291 is dismantled by the scientists.

A Girl, a Boy, a Penny and a Very, Very, Very Long Road

Julia Beney

After turning down a long, seemingly abandoned, road in a 1968 Ford Galaxie named Archie, Yuna encounters a philosophical hitchhiker, a girl with (almost) pink hair and an unusual Old Lady who asks her to put all of who she is in a small empty box. Embarking on a journey down this long un-named road, our trio fall into series of mis-adventures in which they discuss the appropriate assemblage of a sandwich, struggle to pee in the woods, build illegal campfires, debate what to put in empty boxes, and contemplate their own existence. This heart-felt quirky drama does not shy away from the truth, whether that be the fragility of dreams, homes and life itself, or the destructive nature of loss and mental disorders. "A Girl, A Boy, A Penny and a Very, Very, Very Long Road" is an indie-film that inspires trust, self-love and bravery.
