A robot’s quest for meaning unfolds with beautiful despair in the short film We Were Not Made for This World. Let the stark and lovely visuals wash over you as you listen to the tale of the robot’s search for the beings who created him.

Colin West McDonald directed this short, adapted from the comic of the same name by Paul Hornschemeier. It’s a wonderful meditation on the search for purpose and the possible futility of that very search.
