Badland

Director Drew Phillips (2018 USA 15:32) 

What if a special kind of heroin granted you telekinetic abilities and a super intoxicating high?  In the badlands of Philadelphia, a heroin-plagued neighborhood, Doctor Cosme gives his test-subject Titan a mere amount of hours to make a decision: overcome his 8-year history of addiction and live, or shoot up a super serum a final time and save his neighborhood from a "villain" with the same telekinetic powers.  “Badland” is a superhero drama short film. Titan is a humble do-gooder in a social realist world filled with concrete, graffiti, bare trees, and rubble.
