More About "The Recycling Man":
In a poor and overpopulated, yet lonely suburban neighborhood, Jacob, a boy immobilized in a wheelchair, fights boredom by spying on his neighbors across the courtyard, while his mother, Valery, aggressively tries to convince Maria, her pregnant best friend, to have an abortion. Sarah, a girl of Jacob's age, spots the spying boy out and says hello with a piece of paper. The new friendship is, however, suddenly interrupted when a menacing garbage man approaches Sarah and attacks her from behind with a screwdriver. Jacob, even though he is stuck in his chair, will try everything to alert his mother. Valery, through Jacob's binoculars, sees the garbage man killing the little girl, but she tells Jacob that nothing important is happening. It really seems as if Valery doesn't really care about it and she's far more interested in Maria, and her baby's fate. Why does she care so much about whether her friend will abort the pregnancy or not? And has Jacob really witnessed murder with his binoculars, or is he just incapable of seeing the whole picture?

    could be made into a couple of seasons worth of episodes, something like the series "Sweet Tooth", except its an android boy, rather than a 'deer-boy' trying to find its 'mother'; all the while, evading decommissioning by the "Recyclers" who are hunting down the android children who have reached their recycling date.

Also way too many hands there to steal their own share of the profits. Alternatively create your own platform for this type of content with out any censorship working both netflix and youtube replacement. If there is multitude of series or just movies it could well be worth the price.

    Absolutely incredible! It's a very simple film, a very simple story, yet it really reaches deep down into your emotions. Virginia Newcomb really knocked it out of the park here. She made that character feel so real. And I cared so much for he in that short twelve minute span. The only thing I don't quite understand though is why did the recycling man try to conceal his face from the police? Is he illegally scraping the machines or something? If that is the case, what did I miss that indicated that?

    This was very well done. Superb sci fi and deserves to be a full length feature film. Loved the acting, story and future LA backdrop. Tackles the issue of over population and what would happen to curb it. Very brutal and realistic. Thanks for sharing
