"Transporter" from Damon Colquhoun
In this short sci-fi film, a man is trapped in a family that works in the human trafficking trade. He stands on the cusp of achieving the capability of teleporting himself to a different world merely by imagining it, but he’ll have to act quick if he’s going to save the latest girl to fall into his brother’s basement.
"Transporter is a finalist in Ron Howard & Canon's Project Imaginat10n film contest and a contender for the grand prize. The film is a segment of an untitled feature film that's currently in development.
A little too much eye candy in recent sci-fi shorts? I agree. Sci-fi is about to get gritty again!
A new breed of criminals have created a cult like network of human traffickers. In that network, nothing is more valuable than a transporter. Starring Petronia Paley (2 Days in New York), and featuring Taimak (Bruce Leroy of The Last Dragon), Transporter (TRT: 9:56) is a sci-fi psychological thriller about an introverted Harlem teen on a mission to escape his dysfunctional family and their monstrous family business. However, his manipulative mother is convinced that he has what it takes to be the transporter she covets.
Fans of cult Sci-Fi cinema, such as “Donnie Darko,” "Upstream Color," Tarkovsky’s “Stalker,” and Kōji Morimoto's "Beyond" (The Animatrix), should enjoy what Transporter has to offer.
This project was born out of Ron Howard's and Canon's Project Imaginat10n. I'm one of the project's winning photographers. While my image was technically a contest winner, it ultimately wasn't chosen by any of the five celebrity directors to inspire their short films. I certainly wasn't happy about that. But then came a fortunate twist of fate. Canon added a film contest to Project Imaginat10n where five non-celebrity directors will have their films exhibited alongside the films of the five celebrity directors. These films will be released under the banner of Ron Howard Presents… And it just so happened that I was a filmmaker itching to make another film! And well...here it is!"
