About this release

There is a specific kind of science-fiction dread that has almost nothing to do with explosions or alien invasions — the dread of being studied, categorized, and found expendable by a system that operates with perfect, inhuman logic. That is the territory staked out by *Surplus To Requirements*, a science-fiction film scheduled for release on April 25, 2026.
