"We Were Not Made For This World” is a existential sci-fi short film directed by Los Angeles-based filmmaker Colin West McDonald, based on a comic of the same name by cartoonist Paul Hornschemeier that features a rapidly declining robot wandering aimlessly through the desert.
After a chance encounter with a teenage girl at lunch, disgruntled toy factory worker Daniel learns that his high school sweetheart lied about getting an abortion 16 years ago and that he has a 15 year-old daughter. He wrestles with his past, his possible future, and the choice of confronting these massive new realities or sinking further into himself.
In this existential animated short, Museum curator Gordon Boonewell's world is falling apart and his mind may be following.
