EONS ALONE, 2min,
Directed by Kai Lee Conrath
An astronaut lives on an unspecified planet. She lives her same, repetitive life before seeing a flashing red light in the distance. She looks at this light for many days, before realizing that someone or something is out there. Desiring to not be alone anymore, she finds a way to leave her planet, and explore. She jumps and gets blown into the air by a geyser. While she floats, she watches as her planet slowly fades further and further away from her line of sight. Suddenly, she sees a strange red being reaching its arm out for her. She hesitates, but slowly reaches up to grab the extended arm. She is reaching towards the unknown, and who she could become. The things that keep us safe are often the things that keep us alone.
