This has nothing to do with the Uncanny Valley, why is it called that?

This is such a well-shot short, definitely got to have been influenced by that one Black Mirror episode in Season 3

My fucking God, this is great. A really cool concept, fantastic CGI and I dig the documentary-type style.
Please, adapt it as a feature length movie.

Edit: On his website Frederico Heller wrote that he is working on a longer version of Uncanny Valley. YEEEESSS!!
