More About "The Wastelander: Spector 23":
In a sprawling, apocalyptic world, an unnamed wanderer seeks answers in a long abandoned sector of the city. Guided by old legends he searches for The Temple of the Oracle: a place where “all questions are answered, all needs fulfilled.” But Sector 23 is a dangerous place, and his encounters with warring mutants, insane robots, and deadly predators will put his pursuit of the Oracle, and his need for answers, in jeopardy. Many have made the journey into Sector 23…None have returned.

We had so much fun making this short- I hope you enjoy watching it! A huge thank you to the wonderful cast and crew who put so much into this film.

Him shouting "buy one get one free!" Was such a good touch. To us, its something we hear everday. To him, its a secret code lost to the ages. And the grocery store is still in business! They just sell...off brand meat.

Brilliant and chilling at the same time , echoes of solyent green for us older guys , loved it .

Well that's horrific, and quite sad. Amazing visuals in the forest. Would've liked to see more of that.

Excellent work in every department. But, yikes, such a dark world. This is one of the few Dust shorts that I would like to see realized as a full-length feature. So many disturbing questions to be answered. Kudos to everyone on the project, especially JB, the director. You have real vision.

Falling into the Super Duper Mart is never a good idea.

Shorts like this are the reason I keep watching Dust. Great visuals, action progression, the inclusion of the nanny-bot was a nice touch. Nothing to add, just thanks for this, and keep up the good work!
