    • Trivia
      Cognition had the rare privilege of a three and a half week cinema release in the UK starting on the 16th of October 2020, at the Archlight Cinema (since renamed to The Cinema in the Arches) in Battersea, London, Greater London, England. The film enjoyed an excellent reception and a string of sell out screenings. DCP was prepped by Technicolor and a Dolby Atmos mix across 45 speakers was done by Twickenham Film Studios, with the final recording/mix done at Abbey Road Studios.

    Awesome emotive sci fi short film
    This is a fantastic film which packs in a huge amount on a small budget with high class performances from lead actors, superb visuals, real orchestral score, a dark dystopian storyline which remains original and leaves the viewer with hope at the end....its a real treat from opening credits till the end. Great attention to detail - clearly a labour of love from the producer and director.
