Short Film: Abiogenesis

"Abiogenesis" by Richard Mans

In the award-winning CGI 2011 short film Abiogenesis, a mysterious mechanical device lands on an uncolonized planet and harnesses its natural resources to bring life to a once desolate planet.  It's a visually spectacular piece with a message that's far more optimistic than most modern science fiction movies can no longer muster.

"In this breathtaking science fiction spectacle, a strange mechanical device lands on a desolate world and uses the planet to undergo a startling transformation, that has profound implications for an entire galaxy."
