They're Made Out of Meat

Awesome science fiction short film!


"They're Made Out of Meat" is a Nebula Award-nominated short story by Terry Bisson.

In 2005, Stephen O Regan wrote and directed a live film adaptation starring Tom Noonan and Ben Bailey. The film was made as a final film project for the New York Film Academy.

This story involves two aliens travelling across the universe and they come to our planet. They found out that the human race is meat, just meat.

It is ironic, whereas the human race creates the machines and controls them. According to those aliens, we are not more superior or intelligent than any other race that could exist. We are just a piece of meat that could feed the dogs.
