🎥 More About "There Is No Antimemetics Division":
Marion Wheeler is called in to a routine meeting with her boss, a high ranking suit at the shadowy SCP Foundation, only to end up with a gun to her head and her identity in question. These are the perils of being the organization’s Chief of Antimemetics, a division dedicated to fighting memory consuming entities. Marion must convince her superior and his trigger happy assistant that she’s not a spy before getting dragged off to Xi-3.
🎬 Director’s Statement:
I resonate with being the only one in the room who can see the monsters. Theres a German word, Weltschmerz, it describes someone with a painful awareness of the suffering and imperfection of the world, paired with a sense of powerlessness to do anything about it. I made this film to kill a monster. And to be rewarded with a cigarette.
My mission was to create a Sci-fi Noir episode of the Twilight Zone by way of David Lynch and Phillip K. Dick. Big shout out to Dan Erickson and Ben Stiller for speaking to my soul in Severance. And of course to the enigmatic QNTM for sparking my imagination with the original story, "We Need to Talk About 55". Long live the SCP Foundation.
