Jackrabbit

Jackrabbit (2015)

Following a worldwide event known as The Reset, humanity rebuilds a society with aging mechanics where gleaming technology once stood. Surveillance now the status quo, society is slowly putting its shattered pieces back together under a watchful eye. After a friend’s suicide leaves behind a mysterious computer drive, a young computer prodigy and a shadowy hacker join together to decipher the clues that he’s left behind. The youthful creators of Jackrabbit have successfully constructed a world, which we haven’t previously seen on film. Mixing retro production design with slick storytelling, they deliver a cinematic dissonance that will result in a shock to the senses.

Interesting facts

Jack Rabbit is a 2015 American cyberpunk film directed by Carleton Ranney, who co-wrote it with Destin Douglas. Josh Caras and Ian Christopher Noel star as residents of a dystopian city who attempt to find details about the death of their mutual friend, a computer hacker. It premiered at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival.

Production

Writer-director Carleton Ranney was inspired by news stories about WikiLeaks and Aaron Swartz, a hacktivist who committed suicide. Although the film was shot in Austin, Texas, Ranney sought to keep the setting ambiguous. Ranney also kept details about the world itself ambiguous, including the nature of The Reset, as he felt it worked better as a mystery that not even the fictional world fully understood.
