After he?s ordered to destroy a building with civilians inside, a jingoistic drone operator uses a demolition robot to fight his superior officer and allow the civis to escape.

What Tony said. That's a lot of baggage to stuff into a small dramatic vehicle.

Whatever, I think his logline distills the essence of the issue (as I understand it).

-- wow -- you've got a lot going on for a short, just IMO. I see the potential, but to be able to SHOW all of this in 10-15 mins would be no small feat. Best of luck with it...

'A patriotic drone operator turns on his own army when he discovers the insurgents that he?s ordered to kill inside an unstable building are in fact innocent civilians.'

Sorry to be dense, but what is a jingoistic drone operator?
