Because life isn't simple. Another intriguing, well-made sci-fi short film to feature today, this one I like quite a bit. It's called Paraphernalia and is a 12-minute short about a boy and his robot, but there's a bit more to it than that. I won't give away the final reveal but it's worth it after spending so much time with these two characters. There's an awesome "Kill All Robots" throwback video game segment halfway through, but overall this is just an outstanding short to enjoy. No wonder it won Best Drama at the La Shorts Fest. It was directed by John Williams - no relation to the composer. Watch it below. "You don't even have guns!" When young Atari Withers gets annoyed with the little robot that follows him everywhere, he tries to leave it, sell it and smash it up... But this robot is more than just a toy.

Here's a wonderfully cute, feel-good, sci-fi short film called Paraphernalia. The short was directed by John Williams, and it centers on a little boy and a Robot that annoys him. I really loved it, it has a great little twist that I think you'll enjoy.

I really hope you enjoy this one as much as I did. With all of the crazy things going on in the world right now, I thought it would be nice to share something a little uplifting.
