"Connected" is a 10-minute live action short film from last year (2015). The reason this is somewhat known is not due to director Luke Gilford or his co-writer David Largman Murray or actress Dree Hemingway. It is because of Pamela Anderson from "Baywatch" playing the main character and because of Oscar-winning actress Jane Fonda voice acting. But it is a fairly disappointing outcome overall. It is about a woman who joins a strange cult looking for harmony and happiness and the way she gets that metal thing injected in her head makes me think of everything but harmony. These 10 minutes are a prime example of style over substance. They obviously wanted to make use of the phenomenon of an aging beauty like Anderson here, but well.. I would not say it worked out at all, but this is not Anderson's fault, but really the fault of the script. It sounds extremely pretentious from start to finish, especially referring to what Fonda said. I felt it was a pretty cringeworthy film that tried soo hard to be aesthetic and creative, but came oh so short. Major thumbs-down.
