It's time to experience a new vision of the future with Lunar, the latest short from up-and-coming sci-fi filmmaker Tyson Wade Johnston (follow him @TysonWade). Some of you may recognize that name, as we've featured Johnston's other short film Seed last year, plus the trailer for this new Lunar short back in June. I really admire Johnston's short films, he seems to have a grasp on storytelling, worldbuilding and visual effects and does a good job bringing all of these elements together in an entertaining package. Check out this short about an outlaw sentenced to imprisonment on the Moon who tries to escape. View it below. Synopsis from Vimeo: "Set in Los Angeles City, 2057, an outlaw is captured and sentenced to a lifetime of imprisonment in the Lunar penitentiaries. To reunite with his lost love, he must become the first convict to escape the corrupt system and return to Earth.

"I can fix all of this." Whoa. This looks really, really good. I just caught wind of a kick ass teaser trailer for a new sci-fi short film from Tyson Wade Johnston, a name you may not recognize yet but should be getting familiar with. Johnston is a talented up-and-coming filmmaker following the steps of Neill Blomkamp. His first short was called Seed, set on an distant alien planet, which we featured back in October. His next film is Lunar, set in the year 2057, about an outlaw sentenced to imprisonment on the Moon who tries to escape. The full short will be out later this summer, but this is an impressive tease with solid VFX work throughout.

Give this one a chance, people! Another new sci-fi short has debuted in full online this week, and it was another we featured the trailer for previously. It's a film called Seed, directed by Tyson Wade Johnston, set on a planet named Gaia, where "an isolated mission and discovers unearthly horrors". Justin Zachary stars as the merc in this. While I know the reaction to the original short trailer when first posted it was very negative, I think this final product is pretty damn good. The visual effects are improved, it is a bit long, but tells an interesting story with some sleek, minimal, impressive sci-fi visuals. Try to enjoy what it does show. Watch the full-length short film Seed, made by Tyson Wade Johnston, in high def from Vimeo/YouTube: Set in the year 2071, where technology has brought mankind to the brink of colonization on a planet named Gaia,...
