  • In a next-generation prison, inmates are “corrected” over a few days by an A.I. linked to their consciousness. Cyrus, a lonely parole officer, becomes obsessed with Alice - a sociopathic inmate that the A.I. seems unable to reform.
    "Corrections" by Nick Tucker
    More About "Corrections":
    In a future prison, inmates are not locked up for years - they’re connected to an accelerated simulation that allows them to serve their entire sentence in a few days. What these inmates don't know is that before they're released, they undergo a "Parole Simulation" that seems utterly real - and their moral resolve is tested in their most private moments. In this way, only the truly reformed are deemed "corrected" and released back into society. Cyrus, a lonely parole technician, becomes obsessed with Alice - an alluring and sociopathic inmate that the system seems unable to reform. While most inmates are corrected and released quickly, Alice has failed nearly a thousand Parole Simulations. Cyrus tries convincing Alice to undergo a procedure that will radically alter her personality, so she can finally be corrected and released. But Alice has her own plans. Despite having her memory wiped between Parole Simulations, she gets to Cyrus - seducing him and chipping away at his sanity … until it's not clear who has the upper hand.
    A message from the filmmaker:
    Corrections is a story about a world of nearly complete state surveillance, a world that has abandoned trust for security - a world distressingly similar to our own. I wrote Corrections as a way to examine issues of surveillance, privacy, and the role they play in how we make choices. How can we be our true self when we're constantly under the eyes of others? We like to think that surveillance can only reveal people's true character, but the pressure of constant observation has just as much power to influence how we behave and think of ourselves. Corrections is also about relationships between people, the way we exert power over others in surprising ways, and how we make ourselves into victims, or victimizers, without realizing it. Cyrus and Alice are locked in a power struggle, their drives and weaknesses conspiring to create a truly toxic relationship. I want the film to leave viewers wondering if it's possible to truly correct people, and if we really want to live in a world where there's no room for the people we can't "fix."

    A tiny masterpiece about obsession and loneliness. Extremely well done in a very compressed storyline. A wonderfully acted sociopath also. It's up to you to decide who is incorrigible.

    A very interesting film. I've known people who can't seem to steer clear of trouble and the law. I've known a few that just got away with whatever it was they did, somehow managing to not get caught. There is a side to humanity that doesn't, and may never conform to what's considered normal, or lawful. Society has tried many ways to "correct" such people with limited success. Sometimes the roles we play in life can get blurred when we encounter certain other people. We sometimes lose our grasp on what's real and what is dreams. "Corrections" is a film that makes for much thought.

    Great stuff! It dawned on me at minute 12 or 13.
    I like how all of Dust´s films are so cinema-like. And no background story, always straight to the point, you don´t need foreplay. Ten secons to dive in is enough. No hobbyist crap (which I did back in the early nineties), just pure and professionally created stuff. What do these films cost? Who sponsors?!

    What a remarkable content in a brief sci-fi film. I'm thankful for this well directed and excellently performed acting in this brief film. The social science issues are evocative in many ways. My study has been behavioral science and information theory related to machine learning technologies and, for me, this sci-fi presents a possible future exponentially improbable. And the existential questions in this movie are something I've no answer for, but based on my study, it would almost never happen in this way.

    I had to use two 9in speakers with 500 watts at 75% to even attempt to listen to this terrible audio whisper mix. I didn't go any higher to make sure you didn't have a loud section that would damage my speakers. These low mixes are why young people think they need subtitles for everything. This is ridiculous.

    This would not be a good system.
    This throws away the best power that we humans have: learning from experience.
    These repeated simulations just show who the subject currently is.
    If the subject doesn't keep anything from a previous existence, they will keep being the same.
    The best education is still punishment/reward. In which form, only experience will tell.

    well I considered this ending but I thought it might be better if he inserted a simulation inside a simulation allowing her to be released early just to see how she would respond. Maybe he was the only key to reforming her. Seemingly. But in reality he was the one in the simulation all along but he still thinks it is her and he can't understand why he inherited her nature post, what he thought, was her release.

    If you get locked up for a restraining order then 99% of the pollution would be going through some simulator. That is not a big offense.
