The Nether

Written by Jennifer Haley

Directed by Jeff Grace

Winner of the 2012 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, The Nether explores the psychological and ethical consequences of virtual simulations as they collide with real life. Set in the not-so-distant future, this mind-numbing detective drama alternates between interrogation room reality and the darker side of the internet in order to raise questions about identity, technology, illicit fantasies, second life morality, and personal privacy.
