KXFM Presents The 2026 LAF Awards
What if radio was humanity’s last defense against AI mind control? In this 15-minute satirical short film, Laguna Beach’s independent radio station KXFM becomes the final stronghold of human freedom. While AI robots brainwash the world through mind control, one community refuses to surrender—using the raw, unfiltered power of radio to resist the machines. Blending sharp humor with a dystopian twist, this film explores the role of community, creativity, and independent media in a future where technology has gone too far. Is radio the last beacon of truth… or humanity’s final broadcast? Credits: 🎙 Produced by: 20 EVO and KXFM, Laguna Beach’s independent radio station. 🎬 Directed by: Bhushan Thakkar ✍️ Written by: Uncle Funk 🎭 Cast: Pat Parnell, Jorg Dubin, Billy Fried, Lex Simonton, Jonathan Tufano If you enjoyed this short film, please like, comment, and subscribe to support independent filmmaking. What do you think—could radio save us from AI?
