I AM BECOME DEATH is a throwback to 1950's sciencefiction movies about J. Robert Oppenheimer traveling back in time to stop himself from creating the atomic bomb. Aided by his colleague Albert Einstein, Oppenheimer discovers the true magnitude of his oftparaphrased quote from the Bhagavad Gita: "Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.”
Written and Directed by THE STEPHEN KINGDOM Host David McCracken.
A MESSAGE FROM DAVID:
Robert Oppenheimer and his creation of the atomic bomb are back on our minds thanks to Christopher Nolan's latest film. I wrote and directed this short film over a decade ago while working toward my MFA at USC's School of Cinematic Arts. Enjoy!
