If the Wachowskis had chosen to present the Matrix as a music video, they might have come up with something like “Across the Fog.” But they didn’t, which left an opening for Danilo Scozzari’s “Across the Fog.” Submitted to the Moment Invitational Film Festival 2021 as a music video, this four-minute mobile movie could just as easily have been labeled science fiction (in the tradition of “2001”).  We can imagine Joseph Campbell applauding it as a visually astonishing example of the hero’s journey, with the protagonist turning “loss of data” into a good thing.  (Spoiler alert: “Hero” is now considered to be a gender-neutral word.)
