A7-058 is a short Science Fiction film produced, written, and shot by Brian Tooker. Directed by Joshua DuMond, this experimental film explores the mystery of the Sci-Fi genre.

Mixing computer generated elements with live action footage, the film is very visually driven. A7-058 has received a number of awards at various film festivals.
