    • Trivia
      Cognition had the rare privilege of a three and a half week cinema release in the UK starting on the 16th of October 2020, at the Archlight Cinema (since renamed to The Cinema in the Arches) in Battersea, London, Greater London, England. The film enjoyed an excellent reception and a string of sell out screenings. DCP was prepped by Technicolor and a Dolby Atmos mix across 45 speakers was done by Twickenham Film Studios, with the final recording/mix done at Abbey Road Studios.

    Psychological Sci Fi

    I genuinely had no idea what to expect when purchasing this film on ITunes. I am a big fan of Andrew Scott and was hoping to see something special. I was impressed with the scale of this short film and how it takes you on an unexpected journey with a nice dark twist. I found it emotionally engaging and I always like a thinking man's sci-fi film. Would recommend it
