“The Uncanny Valley” tells the tale of robot E6 who has fallen in love with Mistress Celina, a beautiful woman from the stars. But when his affection is spurned, E6 resolves to improve himself until she cannot refuse his love!

“It’s important that Earth people realize that beautiful women from outer space that look just like retro-futuristic go-go dancers from the 1960s are probably a reality. I just wanted to show that in my animation,” says lead and only animator Mike Fisher.

Theosaurology

Writer/Director:/Producer: Alex Austin.

Theosaurology presents the concept that since there are so many things scientists still speculate about with dinosaurs, why couldn’t they be super powerful creatures that performed wondrous acts? We were not there to witness these things, and there has been no fossil evidence to prove otherwise. All told with a sense of arrogance and humor, the narrator leads the viewer through this concept though a book while the dinosaur illustrations come to life and demonstrate their awesomeness. This is a layered satire and action comedy.
