SkyFighter.jpg

In the 26th-century setting of the space opera short Sky Fighter, implantation of cybernetics in humans is now a common practice. Also, humanity is now a space-faring species waging war against hostile aliens in deep space.

One human pilot, John, awakes aboard his spaceship suffering from amnesia. His cybernetic implant has been hacked, so he can no longer distinguish friend from foe.

At that realization, his spaceship comes under attack.

TheLongDigPoster.jpg

Sci-fi short film The Long Dig is based on the role-playing game (RPG) Aeronauts and is set in a distant future in which most of the world is covered in a mysterious, purple mist.

Prolonged exposure to the mist causes hallucinations, illness, and eventual death. So, the remnants of humanity now reside either in mist-absent clearings in emerging city-states high above ground, or sequestered in tunnels beneath the earth.

The short film chronicles the adventures of the exiled Eve and her companions Laren and Shaemus as they attempt to locate pre-catalcysmic technology in order to return to their home above ground. But danger awaits them within the mist.
