A short experimental/micro-budget film focusing on the subject matter of substance abuse and how it ties in with utilization of media. Ever since losing one of his best friends to an opiate overdose at the age of fifteen, director Eli Hayes has been interested in chemical dependence as a subject matter portrayed in mediums of mass communication. With Pixels, he is attempting to explore the past of someone with addictive tendencies, how those tendencies came to be and how each individual that suffers from the disease of addiction - whether it be in the past (such as the director himself and the friend that he lost) or in the present, as many others are suffering - has a family, memories, adventures; a life not worth risking.
