Puerto Rican pop culture website Ni Tan Geeks recently sat down with FutureDude’s Jeffrey Morris to discuss the ideas behind his short films Parallel Man and Oceanus, both of which are now available to stream on sci-fi streamer DUST.

Morris delves into the science behind his creative visions and the decisions he had to make in the development process.

I have the imagination for a $100 million film, but I have a fraction of that amount of money. So what do I do? Animation seemed to be the best bet [for Parallel Man], because animation lets us do whatever we want…I like the look and feel that we created. I think that’s something we want to explore more. The way the backgrounds look like paintings – I think that’s really cool, and so different from what we see nowadays.
