Director: Anthony Lucas

 

In a world where airships are made of iron and computers are powered by steam, Jasper Morello, a disgraced aerial navigator, flees his plague-ridden home on a desperate voyage to redeem himself. The expedition through vast un-chartered skies is filled with horrors but in a shocking climax, Jasper discovers that the greatest horror of all lies within man himself.

Anthony Lucas’ short film, a half hour animated adventure made entirely in silhouette, is an epic steampunk story in the gothic tradition of Jules Verne and Edgar Allan Poe.
