Sci-Fi Short Film “Cupid’s Paradise“ | DUST | Throwback Thursday

Explore the DUST Multiverse on our App: Every Thursday we’re traveling through a DUST wormhole to bring back some our channel’s classics. In a world where everyone is rated based on superficial factors, Jenn has 100 dates to find a match before she becomes Cupid’s slave. “Cupid’s Paradise“ by Ivy Liao Connect with the Filmmakers: More About “Cupid’s Paradise“: All Jenn Meyer ever hoped was to match with the hottest guy available in Cupid’s Paradise. Howev- er, with a 7.6 score that won’t be easy. Despite Jenn’s attempts to date men above 8.0, she is assigned on a date with Kevin Kim, a 6.3. Those who fail to find their ideal match within 100 dates are kicked off the system and become Cupid’s slave. Jenn “upgrades” her appearance with the help of a mysterious Barista. Despite increasing her score and dating hotter candidates, everyone she meets is a jerk. The pattern continues until Jenn is allowed to enter a 9.0 only club to meet with a 9.4 man. However, she’s caught pretending to be a higher score and two Prism Bots escort her out of the club. After being humiliated, Jenn runs into Kevin, who comforts her with burgers. They watch the sunset and Jenn slowly feels better. She throws away her wig and apologizes to Kevin, finally becoming her true self.
