Hello there, and welcome to Today’s Short, where we go over short films in the genres of both science fiction and fantasy. Today’s short film: “Temple”. Let’s take a look! Director Nguyen-Anh Nguyen achieved a degree of notoriety as a filmmaker with his 2014 Akira fan film (or rather fan-made trailer) that received over three million views online. That project,…
Hello there, and welcome to Today’s Short, where we go over short films in the genres of both science fiction and fantasy.

Two nights ago, my world changed. It started at 9:45 AM, on December 17, 2015 (technically December 18 was the official release date, but I was fortunate this time around), when I showed up early to be first in line for that night’s 10:30 IMAX 3D showing of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. There was a…
It was the best of episodes, it was the worst of episodes, it was the age of reason, it was the age of faith, it was the epoch of hope, it was the epoch of despair, it was the season of death, it was the season of resurrection, it was the spring of optimism, it was…
