A sci-fi trailer for a movie that doesn't exist, about space ninjas who can't focus—it's a parody that actually *is* the thing it's mocking, which is the kind of recursive, impossible-to-pitch move that makes most programmers nervous and me completely certain it's the one worth fighting for.
Sangra's formal constraint—compressing genre spectacle into a 1-minute scroll through attention collapse—sits in clever dialogue with trailer conventions, though the satire risks collapsing into the very distraction it diagnoses, which keeps it sharp rather than settled.
The entire film hinges on the edit rhythm matching the swipe-and-skip momentum of infinite scroll, and that one decision—where cuts land, what gets interrupted mid-reveal—is what separates this from a joke into something that actually *feels* like drowning in content.
