A man with a broken nose stands on a 1980s rooftop, holding a bulky signal analyzer aimed at massive, glowing blue data waveforms in the night sky.

On a gritty 1980s rooftop, a survivor attempts to analyze an impossible data structure manifesting in the night sky. The cool-toned, low-key lighting and heavy grain evoke an indie feature shot on an Arriflex 35 III and mastered on Betacam, grounding the cerebral anomaly in a tangible reality.
