Bag Lady — When Robots Replace the Unseen

Step into a sun-bleached Las Vegas where the forgotten are vanishing and something mechanical is taking their place. Bag Lady follows two brothers and mismatched outsiders — the wary conspiracist Skee and the everyman Bender — as a strange discovery about an elderly recycler pulls them into a fast, furious battle against an unseen invasion. Part homage to They Live and Terminator and part reckless action-comedy, the short blends intimate character moments with bone-crunching, tightly choreographed fights. As the pair argue about control, agency and whether anyone really notices the dispossessed, the stakes grow: what happens when society decides the expendable are expendable no longer? With dark humor, arcade-style action beats, and a heart built from real-world empathy, Eric Jacobus's Bag Lady is a short that teases a larger world — landing like a punch, then making you think about who gets left behind. Watch the short on YouTube this November and meet the film that sparks both a laugh and a chill.
