Sci-Fi Short of the Week: “Sundays” by Postpanic Pictures
This weeks’ sci-fi short is a dark dystopian view of the future. As with one of our recent shorts, The Leviathan, Sundays was picked up by a major film studio, in this case Warner Brothers, who in turn hired the director Mischa Rozema to take the concept behind Sundays and flesh it out into a feature film. This will be no easy task methinks since the short is well . . . short on details. The film does indeed have a dark and eerie quality about it with hints of the Matrix and George Orwell’s 1984 wrapped up in a dystopian view of a distant future. The visuals are fantastic and the scope of the film is massive. I especially love what looks to be floating aircraft carriers. Radical! Take a look and let me know what you think?
