[@nielsenmt]

I’ve been following Jeffrey Morris’s (aka FutureDude) work for a long time. I love everything about Parallel Man. It’s the kind of intelligent animated science fiction we so need. While we’ve seen quite a bit of the multiverse lately, this is a unique, original and very well thought out take on the genre. It’s a perfect balance between dystopia and a hopeful vision. Love that there’s action within a thoughtful premise. I really hope we can see this become a series!

[@leokim1458]

"It’s a perfect balance between dystopia and a hopeful vision." I couldn't have said it any better.

[@paddygarin2896]

This short film is backed by a legit comic book that I am waiting with baited breath to see! The author/director was popularizing these ideas before the multiverse really took off, a true early adopter. I believe so strongly in the work of Jeffrey Morris! Give it a watch!

[@jeffreymorris7242]

Thanks!!!

[@ghagzor]

Wtf are you talking about. That sounds like plagiarism then. "BLACK SCIENCE" from image comics is exactly this but done better, I felt it was a rip off just watching it but to hear a comic is planned is too far, that's plagarism 100%

[@warrenpoultney8215]

Definitely a different take of the parallel worlds theme, multiple worlds, universes without the chaos of multiples of same character variants. It's giving it a singular story tying all the different worlds. Not to mention the quality presentation and story telling. Though it kinda jumped in mid story, I didn't feel I missed anything leading to where it started from.

So many layers to peel here. The politics ,the tech, the culture , the fanaticism, the resistance, the social order and of course the multiple worlds that can emerge from each jump. This is heavy.

Another short that knocks it out of the park. Sure the story doesn't end, but there's enough detail to keep me interested during the short and to be able to infer what happens after the final scene.
