Kid's Story 2003

Kid’s Story is how I imagine a reboot of The Matrix would go: a high school kid feels himself slowly losing his grip on reality, until he is contacted by someone from the outside world. Agents descend on him while he’s in class one day, and he makes a daring escape by skateboarding around the school. I like the idea that the same basic thing that happened to Neo was happening to a kid, and how he handled it differently. The ending was the most interesting part, as it threw me for a loop several times. I also appreciate the wildly unique artstyle; it added to the frantic nature of it all. Out of the shorts I’ve watched so far, this is the one I wish was turned into a fully developed story.
