d6a2afd33b LIGHT UP THE NIGHT is an analog science-fiction short film set in an Orwellian, futuristic 1980s. The story tells the tensions flaring between rebellious citizens and robotic law enforcement. We are introduced to two dissidentsthey take aim at the city&#39;s looming, panoptic control tower, while local band The Protomen take the stage amidst the action, inciting unrestthey narrate the struggle. The production value that went into making this short is nothing less than stellar… though labeled a &quot;short&quot; it&#39;s really a glorified music video for the songs &quot;Light Up the Night&quot;, &quot;The Fall&quot;, and the opening strains of &quot;Keep Quiet&quot; and &quot;Here comes the Arm&quot; by The Protomen. It servesan excellent vehicle and storytelling device for these songs.<br/><br/>The problem is that these songs existpart of a much larger narrative that cannot truly be explained in the space of a short video like this. The comic-book style segment makes an effort to establish the scene, but unless you are familiar with the work of the Protomen, you may feel like you&#39;re missing key details.<br/><br/>Of course, this should lead you to want to learn more about the band, and their music, right? :D Mission accomplished!
