thanks for this recommendation, this sounds really interesting. Would you stay it stands on the level of Primer for quality/budget film making?

  While Sleep Dealer had a bigger budget than Primer's $7000 (I still loved primer), as you can see in the trailer/etc they were obviously limited in the CG they could afford. I think they work around that limitation quite well. A mostly-spoiler-free example might be the "simstim social media" service: by looks it's pretty cheesy, but in concept it's a perfect caricature of modern monetized youtube. (from 2008, well before the modern "youtuber" phenomena). Some people may not like that it's in Spanish (subtitled). As a long-time fan of everything "cyberpunk", I stand by my claim that Sleep Dealer is the best cyberpunk film ever made - even if the filmmakers were dreaming somewhat larger than their budget.
