A cryptic note on a matchbook sends Ralph and Alice to a seedy waterfront bar. Close behind, two shadowy figures stalk them through city streets. Believing that a mysterious device hidden in the back room is their best hope for escape, Alice takes the stage, hoping an unexpected torch song will distract everyone in the bar long enough for Ralph to break in and steal the device. But just as Ralph cracks the locks on their prize, the dark pursuers rush in, revealing that there’s more to the story than either Ralph or Alice could have imagined. Shot entirely on green screen, “For Us” presents a 1940s film noir tale of intrigue, drawing stylistic inspiration from classics like Kiss Me Deadly with its dark shadows, menacing characters, and moody atmosphere. But the story speaks the narrative language of modern science fiction, resonating with a powerful climax that provokes essential questions: what’s really motivating the main characters? What’s their real connection to their pursuers, and what’s so important about the device they’re so eager to find?
