Synopsis
MORE tells the story of an old, tired inventor as he struggles through joyless life in a drab and passionless society, leading the same cold and colorless existence accepted by the identical drones around him. At once tortured and inspired by his dreaming of and yearning for his younger carefree days, he struggles to finish the invention he hopes will give his life meaning and worth. His world, and the world of those around him, is transformed when his secret invention is completed. However, his subsequent success does not come without sacrifice. The inventor realizes that the true essence of his inspiration cannot be manufactured...

Saw this short in '99 on the big screen in NYC. As an Engineer and Inventor I was able to identify. The fire that burns is all too real (I hope it never burns out though). This film really hit home. I think about it often. Working for Corporate America day in and day out is a drag after a while. Especially these days. I hope I have the same success as clayman does. Thanks for putting together such a great short film. Picked up a copy last year. About 2 years later! Too bad its not available on DVD so that I could play it once in a while at work for a little inspiration.
