Jon is a futuristic allegory about corporate-owned trendsetters living in a bubble of product-testing and commercial-producing, where references from marketing campaigns replace authentic experience. A story of love and self-discovery set in a hyper-marketed world gone haywire. “Hip, satiric and heartbreaking, it’s science fiction of the best sort—a link between contemporary touchstones…and legitimate questions about how we think and what matters most.” Nina Metz, NewCity
