Electric touches meet a lavender haze. Technology, noise, glitch, and life blend together in this package that is equal parts spiritual and mystical. 


While trying to navigate a city that won’t provide him a bathroom, a delivery worker discovers an unearthly presence infecting women all over New York.


A gritty sci-fi film grounded in the harsh realities of fast food delivery drivers, POWER SIGNAL is brimming with style. Director Oscar Boyson (producer of FRANCES HA, GOOD TIME, and UNCUT GEMS) brings a focused, anxious energy to POWER SIGNAL that seems ripe for expansion into a feature-length film.


POWER SIGNAL will be screened as a part of the SHORTS: BIOCHEMICAL EQUATION package.
