In a world where data is our only currency, a career-driven young mother is forced to fight for her way of life when a global tech giant comes to claim a debt.

A.R.P.U. – which stands for ‘average revenue per user’ – is a short dystopian film inspired by the Netflix documentary ‘The Great Hack’ and the Cambridge Analytica scandal. The film explores our relationship with our online data, and what could happen when we give it away so freely.

Maeve Fairfeld is a woman who seems to have it all; a loving family, wonderful home and successful career. That is until Mr Jones knocks on her door. An employee of Tekhnes, the tech giant that owns everything from your fit watch to your home hub, he is here to call in a debt. With her most personal information laid on the table as currency, Maeve must play a dangerous game of cat and mouse in order to protect her family and her way of life.
