"Project Arbiter" directed by Michael Chance
In this awesome short film, Captain Joseph Colburn is a WWII special field operative who dons a suit that renders him invisible for a mission to investigate a mysterious laboratory on the Polish border. But in the course of his mission, Coburn discovers a dark secret that may alter the course of the war.
While Project Arbiter
starts off as an espionage film, it spins off into the realm of sci-fi in short order as its protagonist confronts the origins of his super suit. The piece feels like a prequel, and let us hope so. This would make an excellent premise for a feature-length film.
"1943. Thousands of feet above Northern Europe a small plane carries a skeleton crew of the Allies best, including special operative captain Joseph Colburn. His handler, major Thomas Hardy does a final review of the mission's grim intel: infiltrate a mysterious villa on the Polish border and uncover its secrets. Colburn emerges donning a prototype suit, which can temporarily render its user invisible. As the plane's bay doors howl open Colburn begins to put on the skull-faced helmet when the plane is rocked by an anti-aircraft shell. Rapidly losing air pressure and altitude, now there's no question... This is a one-way mission."
