Short Film: Grounded

Grounded from Kevin Margo

Grounded is a trippy, visually stunning short film from Kevin Margo, a CG supervisor at Blur Studio, about the final moments of a dying astronaut on strange planet. Though it weighs in at only seven minutes, the film has been showered with accolades on the festival circuit, including the title of Best Experimental Short at the 2012 USA Film Festival.

"One astronaut's journey through space and life ends on a hostile exosolar planet. Grounded is a metaphorical account of the experience, inviting unique interpretation and reflection by the viewer. Themes of aging, inheritance, paternal approval, cyclic trajectories, and behaviors passed on through generations are explored against an ethereal backdrop. Check out the Grounded VFX Breakdowns."
