Short film on decision-making | Verdict 30001 The Cookies - by Henna Välkky & Samuel Häkkinen
The average adult makes around 35 000 remotely conscious decisions each day. Each decision
carries certain consequences - both good and bad. Even if it’s just about a box of cookies.
To buy or not to buy cookies? These are the mundane decisions we face almost every day. We weigh our options in the aisle, put items back, choose something else - then return to the first item all over again. At the same time we go through an internal monologue of what would be the best choice for us - and why. Different voices in our heads all want different things and sometimes it can feel like there's a fight going on in our heads.
"Verdict 30001: The Cookies" is a twisted comedy about how even the smallest decision can make life impossible.
