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.

Written and directed by filmmaker Amy Frear, SELKIE is a modern fantasy short film centering a creature from Irish, Scottish, and Scandinavian myth.

According to the lore, selkies are sea creatures resembling seals who can shed their skin and change into human form in order to walk on land.

In the short film, one such entity follows a school of herring up the Delaware River. Curious about the surroundings, it sheds its seal-skin and transforms into a human woman to explore.

A man discovers the seal-skin and steals it, trapping the selkie in its human form. It then becomes the man’s reluctant girlfriend in an attempt to regain its skin in order to escape back to the sea.

The short film is a beautiful and haunting metaphor for being entangled in an unhealthy relationship.

Guess I’m A Ghost is a supernatural dramedy web series that tells the story of Diane Egan.

In life, Diane… well, she wasn’t the greatest person. She was self-absorbed, selfish, and took her friends for granted.

Then she dies in an Uber accident.

That sucked.

Due to a bureaucratic mix up in the afterlife, Diane is sent back to earth as a ghost tasked with making amends to those she has wronged.

That’s going to suck even more.
