GUEST OVERVIEW: Chris Shimojima, a film and commercial director and editor, and the odd one out in an entertainment and advertising landscape dominated by typical tales of race, equity, and the agenda of the day. He’s choosing to question all of it. His new series, Safe Society, is an 11-part entertaining, thought-provoking audio drama series with immersive sound design, fully scripted and cast. In many ways, it is THE anti-establishment audio drama, in an entertainment world that has become largely not.
Shimojima compares SAFE SOCIETY to 1984 story. “While there is a new version of Nineteen Eighty-Four out, Safe Society is less metaphorical, and specifically about our world, making it more relevant. It's also uniquely from what's become the more right-of-center perspective."
Safe Society is satire, holding up a critical and entertaining mirror to climate alarmism; meat-shaming; masks; shots; race obsession; gender-neutral obsession; DEI and ESG; media brainwashing; and censorship. And it uses horror and thriller tropes to milk the absurdities.
