"DEAR LUCAS" directed by Winnie Cheung
Written by Zack Marotta
"Dear Lucas" is a short film that combines fantastical futuristic elements and simple human emotion in the tradition of Another Earth, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Gattaca. In it, a man meets the love of his life, a fan of the television series he
co-hosted with his scientist father as a child. Just as the two are getting to know each other, though, one of the professor’s
failed experiments roars to life, carrying a message from the future.
It’s dreamy, but jam packed with twists and turns. We jump back and forth between space and time, watching Lucas’ life play out differently. Ultimately, it forces the audience to confront their own insecurities with the future’s uncertainty.
