PB&J | Population Brad & Jay

In a future where humanity has abandoned Earth, one man remains behind with his only companion: a small hovering droid named Jay. Living among the ruins and scavenging for hypercells to survive, their daily routine is disrupted when a mysterious discovery points to a message from beyond their isolated world. Blending sci-fi adventure, humor, and heart, PB&J explores friendship and hope at the end of the world.

FILM FESTIVALS

PB&J: Population Brad & Jay has officially been selected for the Lift-Off Filmmaker Sessions 2026 (Volume 5) — a global showcase celebrating independent film and emerging talent.

Lift-Off is all about giving indie films a stage and an audience, connecting creators worldwide through its online festival platform. We’re incredibly excited to have PB&J featured among this year’s lineup and to share Brad and Jay’s journey with a global audience.

PB&J: Population Brad & Jay was selected as a Daily Short Pick by Film Shortage, an online short film platform that showcases new and diverse short films from emerging filmmakers around the world. Their Daily Picks section features curated shorts they believe deserve a wider audience, and we’re thrilled to have PB&J included in that lineup.

PB&J: Population Brad & Jay has been selected for the 2026 McMinnville Sci-Fi Film Festival, a sci-fi short film festival held in McMinnville, Oregon, during the city’s much-loved UFO Festival. Hosted by The Reel Hollywood Video, the festival celebrates family-friendly sci-fi, alien, and UFO-themed short films, screening them for audiences who gather for a weekend of films, costumes, speakers, live music, and wonderfully weird out-of-this-world fun. We’re super stoked to have PB&J included in the 2026 selection.
