Set in a near-future world where emotions can be programmed, Something Real is a dark comedy about control, intimacy, and the absurd lengths we’ll go to avoid vulnerability. When Dax decides to break up with her partner using a high-tech "soft landing" protocol, nothing goes as planned. This sharp, stylish short from Emmy-winning director Tamara Shogaolu unpacks the illusion of perfection in relationships—with a surreal, hilarious twist.
