Short Film: Joe & Mary's Kid


"Joe & Mary's Kid" Written & Directed by Dan Rosen
Director of Photography: Adrian Peckitt

"Joe & Mary's Kid" is a clever short film that uses science fiction to look at the trials and tribulations of parenthood in a humorous way.  In it, Joe and Mary weren't blessed with children and their attempts to adopt aren't working out. To make his wife happy, Joe takes matter into his own hands and builds a robot to raise it as their son.

The best part of this short film is its' toy-like robot.  It's not the life-like robot that we've come to expect from Hollywood movies, but rather, the kind of wind-up toy robot that someone really might build in your own home.
"If you can't have a child or adopt, then build one."
