Trailer for Branded reveals dystopian future controlled by corporations

Branded is described as a dark and mind-bending journey into a surreal, dystopian society where corporate brands have unleashed a monstrous global conspiracy to get inside our minds and keep the population disillusioned, dependent and passive. A man named Misha (Ed Stoppard) has a passion to unlock the truth behind the conspiracy, leading to an epic battle with the hidden forces that control our world.

Branded is the vision of two widely respected marketing executives: Jamie Bradshaw and Alexander Doulerain, the duo that co-wrote, produced and directed the film. The cast of Branded includes Ed Stoppard, Leelee Sobieski, Jeffrey Tambor, Ingeborga Dapkunaite and the legendary Max Von Sydow.
