Dear Lucas is a short film that combines fantastical futuristic elements and simple human emotion in the tradition of Gattaca, Another Earth and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

A young man who’s lived his whole life in the shadow of his famous, beloved scientist father falls in love with a fan who tracks the professor down. But just as the two are getting to know each other, one of the professor’s failed experiments roars to life and presents a message from the future. If the would-be lovers stay together, a horrific tragedy awaits them. Will their budding love be worth the risk?
