This dark comedy short film explores the chaos of quick commerce delivery apps
A new short film titled 'Go Get It' uses dark comedy to satirize the modern reliance on quick-commerce delivery applications. The plot follows a delivery rider caught in a series of chaotic mix-ups in an alternate version of Kochi.
Why it matters
It reflects growing societal concerns regarding the convenience-driven 'gig economy' and its potential for dystopian outcomes.
In the age of e-commerce, it is not unthinkable to believe that there can be an app from which anything can be purchased. It is, to an extent, a reality. Everything from cooked meals, and electronics, to a suitcase and even a treadmill can be purchased and delivered to your doorstep. What happens if we take that reality a step further?
Set in an alternate universe Kochi, exists the app Go Get It, and contrary to the name, you do not have to go anywhere to get anything. Everything can be delivered to your doorstep. Drugs, weapons, food, harmful medicines, toys, everything you desire is now just five minutes away. There is no concept of legal or illegal in this universe.
